1st sailing of Scorpion

Yesterday, took the Scorpion sailboat out to Fishing Creek for its maiden voyage.  The Scorpion is a pre-cursor to the AMF Sunfish.  The winds were light with occasional gusts up to 6 mph.  After a slightly rocky start sailing away for the dock in which I gently bumped into a moored fishing boat, the rest of the sail went well.  She handles very nicely.  The wind was never strong enough to need to hike out or even lean but I can tell that she will be very responsive in fresh winds.  Looking forward to some fun sails this summer!
