In fact, they point moderately well, about like the Hobie 16. The gaff headed main is tricky. It is very sensitive to peak halyard adjustment and to sheet pressure. As the main has no battens, the shape is very sensitive to sheeting pressure and should be sheeted relatively lightly when compared to a fully battened sail. This boat is about as difficult to sail to weather as a Hobie 17.

Of course rot is rot, I've had 'glass hulls delaminate.
