  1. Just great boats - look like they're flying when they're at the dock!

  2. Yes, although being built to carry a lot of fish in a very big hurry, they can take a bit of water too!

  3. I should clarify that. They sail magnificently, but without any flotation compartments or modern gizmos, when swamped they could be a bit worrysome. One of my sons had some absolutely wonderful times crewing on one.
