Is a Footy considered a Yacht?
Just picked this up locally from a friend. Looking forward to taking it out to a swimming pool before sailing in the lake.

They look cracking places to sail yachts or motor boats to your hearts content. We have to fight for any piece of water round here with the anglers, golf courses, and private lakes. I'm getting very envious 😊 Best wishes, Dave W

Throstle
Throstle is a Draginforce65 yacht I am loving getting used to sailing her...discovering how she handles and improving my skills. Everyone I meet is so friendly too at the Norwich Boat club. Eating Park boating lake is a fabulous place... you must try it. I promise you will not be disappointed. Great relaxing cafe in the park too! Boing boing Baggies! 👍

M12
My friend, Ewald Bengel, and I both have M12 class sailboats; 42" length, weighing 16+lbs, designed for sailing in weedy ponds or lakes. We took them to his cottage and sailed them in deep water on Oak Lake north of Havelock, Ontario, Canada. A Great afternoon of sailing!

These Canadian Geese slipped into the pond when I was sailing today. They left the boat alone, but was told if they got irritated my sailboat would be attacked. Guess I shall keep my distance, eh!

Mini-12
Sailing on the pond at the former Canterbury Golf Club, Port Perry, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
This is a Mini-12 Sailboat designed for sailing in weedy ponds. The rudder is attached to its shorter keel and weighs 12lbs+, and 42" length. it uses the Soling mast and sail area.
I am still learning how to handle this boat but it is sure fun!

- Dave MVice AdmiralHi JToddHi JTodd Perhaps I should have explained better when I pointed you in that direction. The intention of the Build Blog is to allow you to post details and Pics as you build so our members can share your experience. it works fine if used in this way and there are plenty of Build Blogs in support of this. You can easily add to your build blog and give each addition a title relevant to the build, plus any written comments and pics, this then allows others to follow your progress. Stephen is possibly on holiday but will be able to advise you on his return. If the weather over your side of the pond is anything like the UK your Constellation has possibly been in the doldrums, our Schooners on my sailing lake certainly have! I look forward to many more posts showing your models and building skills. Regards Dave

Never let ideal conditions pass you by again with the Pro Boat® Westward™ sailboat. This compact sailboat makes it easy to hit the water whenever the opportunity presents itself.
