Hi all, I'm in the windy state of North Dakota, USA and building my second rig. I've been looking at all of the designs on this forum and I am impressed. I'm making my version of a mini sailer. I'm to the point of attaching the mast step but wonder at what angle. I still don't have a mast and sail yet since I'm about as far from open water as one can be. Perhaps I should wait until I acquire a mast or build one. I've attached a few pics so the pros can give me some advice or pick it apart.
The bigger one with the beautiful wooden seat is my original from 17 years ago. It works surprisingly well.
