by John Hartmann "Eight seasons of sail and oar cruising along the Maine coast in a home-built 15-foot open sailboat had been a process of happy discovery..."
It is an excellent boat for coastal cruising. Very easy to sail, even in rough weather. I built one myself (Jewell number 9) and sailed her often when I lived in Malaysia. She is currently in Singapore and much in use by her new owner. Ronald Ernst van Dijk, The Netherlands
Thanks, Rob! Yes, there is an OCH video showing a lot of detail regarding Umami’s outfitting and rigging, with footage of her underway in a 10-12 mph breeze.
wow I just found it without knowing you replied! Just watched the first 20 seconds - she looks so nice cutting through the water - bye, back to watching the rest! thanks!
John - well done. I must see more! Centerboard and Rudder... hoping a (long) OCH video is soon coming - show us everything. happy for you both! Rob Ilur #150 Liberte' Lewes, Delaware
