Apple under sail and oar

Bearing away to gybe - note how it is possible to stand upright in the stern clear of the main boom

Roll-tacking in light airs - again standing in the stern clear of the main boom.  Note, too, the light -weather mizzen.

Idle hour - sitting in the stern sheets waiting for the breeze.

Alternative stern sheet arrangements: open for lightweight sheltered water boat, enclosed stern with full height buoyancy tank and side tanks for open water sailing in ballasted version.
