You just never know…

Not everyone takes to it:

Better luck next time, Al!

Mike Acebo has finished his Mini Skeeter with a DN rig. It puts it in the class of the small BDX boats. Watch out, Kate!

The standard MS ends right behind the seat, so Mike added a stern so there was a place to mount the sheet blocks. Aside from that, the mast step and plank are are same distance from each other as the DN.

Mike now will focus full time on the C Skeeter build so it’s ready for the ISA in January.
