RE: My newly built Dumas Ace Sloop
been playing around alot with my elliot bay steam launch, but we were having some 5mph winds with 8mph gusts. So, I decided to take the sloop out with me.
it was nice to plunk her in the water, give a little push, and watch her do her thing as the I was firing up the boiler on the steamer.
she did very well... lazely going this way and that across the lily pad pond.
in fact, after the steamer had done her thing and had come into dock. the sloop decided she wanted to go back to the middle of the pond.. when I went to go wait for her on the bank, she turned off and went into some reeds!
guess she wasn't done sailing for the day
