The Flying Crutchman has a day out

After so many fiddles I think I have finally tweaked my rig - my rig of crutches -- to its best advantage under sail.     I'm sure some more changes are pending but for now I can say that I can sail the thing, even in today's shallow breeze of 4 knots.

The conditions of the last shot in the video of the Flying Crutchman sailing left to right is of the craft navigating due south with an eastery to its windward.
