I’ve been messing around with making a topsail for my boat lately, and it’s finally been nice enough to go for a sail and give it a try. I went 18.3 miles to nowhere in particular, although I did get a picture of myself from a traffic camera.

Nice! I’m a fan of topsails on sprit rigs, myself.
Pictures of your Mellonseed were a big inspiration, as was your article about topsails in Small Boats Monthly. Thanks for the comment!
