The View from the Helm

She floats! And right on her lines too.

AMELIA, our Paine 14 demonstrator, was launched yesterday July 24. She popped off the trailer and into her element and sails beautifully! We raced her against PETUNIA, an original Herreshoff 12 1/2, and she’s considerably faster and more nimble, at least in the light airs we experienced yesterday. This boat is such a great performer, I’ve got to get her into the hands of others.  Stay tuned.
