Thanks, Silvertop! Well, Pip was a fair sailor into the wind. She was a bit of a tub, to be honest. But since she was my first sailboat, that was a good thing. Great boat to learn on. I learned mostly about how to fix/build stuff with her since I rebuilt the interior. When I sold her I bought an old powerboat and did much the same. Then, this canoe. To be honest, I'm in the mood to buy something simple, brand new, with clean lines and no maintenance. Think kevlar canoe. But yeah, I hope Pip's new owners are getting as much fun out of her as I did. Lousy fishing platform though.. no room for a backcast with all those lines, halyards, stays. yuck.
