Hi Jake

Great web site ,-great skiff pic also ,--thanks

One note when you do the towing experiment ,

Just tieing a line on the bows or bridle from the power boat transom will produce a pull up force when towed .

The C E center of effort ,--on the sail has to be taken into account .
Not sure absolutly but you may need to calculate the C E and tow from that mast point to simulate sail forces .
Crew placement becomes another question .
On the wire ,-good time to test out that safety line system ,

Hope the mast insurance is paid up --{joking }
Thanks Jake ,looking forward to the test results .
Happy New Year

Carl
