resurrection scow - a double chine tunnel hull from the seventies

Windward meeting!

Gybe completed

Gybe just completed in a fairly fresh breeze- and turning back almost parallel to my previous course clearly seen on the water in front and behind me. Apart from the plume of spray from the rudder which is preventing her from rounding up into the wind, note how flat and undisturbed the wake is.

The sequence below is in a really strong breeze, racing across the lake from one gybe mark to another. Aren't race officers really kind when things start to breeze up!

Lazarus goosed!

Apart from the spray, note how flat and undisturbed the wake is at speed.

Below: too little breeze to be good scow weather, but pleasant all the same.

Below, close-hauled, hard on the wind, in about an18mph breeze. The scow is heeled so that the lee bow has maximum waterline length and to help prevent pounding, and she is moving nicely along, leaving her stern wave well behind. In a stronger breeze, she will plane to windward if you bear away slightly, but this never seems to pay on a small lake with constantly shifting gusts where pointing ability is paramount

Tacking!
