Shallow Water Sharpie, Beat to the ramp, 2011

Tacking up wind to get to the ramp on Jan 1, 2011. The wind wasn't strong enough to make a reef necessary but we didn't have far to go and weren't in a hurry. I wish I'd set the reef properly, notice how baggy the reefed sail is. When set correctly, the reefed sail is nearly flat.
"Tempo" is Reuel Parker's modernization of a 1906 Hooper Island Crabbing Skiff. (18-foot Chesapeake Bay Modified Sharpie Skiff). I built it from his book, "The Sharpie Book" which is interesting, informative and hard to put down.
