Y-Flyer
Rob Nelson brought the boat out for the first time this night. He asked Rod Tharp to come with him. As you can see below, he needed the weight.
A Y-Flyer is used as a training boat for scow skippers in the mid-west. It will take a little time to learn to get the most out of it, but it should prove fast.

Below, you can see the rudder and the daggerboard!
