    Winter Relief - Rossiter Critchfield Maiden Voyage Fall 2017

    Finally had a chance to throw together some cell phone camera clips of the Rossiter-built Critchfield.

    We were able to get a few quick runs in right before draining the water out of the cottage and calling it a year. Being extremely light, the boat seemed to handle very well and accelerate very quickly. I'd actually consider adding weight though as crosswinds pushed the bow around a lot at speed, which nearly made me crap myself.
    Can't wait to get it back out in the spring and do some real testing!

    "Very Cool"
    Wriggleys gum makes me think of boating, "Double your engines, Double your fun"
