It's a good solo boat, though I wouldn't take it coastal camp cruising in Maine, for instance. This captain has taken it to Wooden Boat's Small Reach Regatta however. It's obviously a proven design, but the GIS is another animal altogether.<br /><br />The captain's reaction was like mine when I saw his boat... we're always happy to see new boats and talk about construction, boat behavior, etc. until our jaws fall off.callsign222https://www.blogger.com/profile/12261614816950499757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8508743712687076546.post-63188275555307915042010-09-01T14:51:42.024-04:002010-09-01T14:51:42.024-04:00What were the Jimmy's captain's comments/r...What were the Jimmy's captain's comments/reactions to your Goat?
