errr... umm.. ah...
Your daggerboard slot is plugged.
Don't tell me you purchased the non-sailing version!
Good gosh Dave, that is way more than half the fun.
PS: the stove is still here if you still want it.

Thanks guys! I have the sail kit prepped, meaning the dagger-board trunk is there, but plugged until I purchase the rigging, sometime later this year. That is a high priority. I will get a tanbark sail for it.
I have a Fortress FX7 for the dinghy.
Pics on the water soon!

Good news. Dinghy sailing is one of my favourite activities, whether in the marina or at anchor.

And where are the stand off rods?Classy boat demand classy fittings

That's a good point. I found out the hard way that lines wrapped around the varnished rails will wear through the varnish.
Great looking dink!

I will be checking out stand off rods. Do I need one or two? The nice thing about this dinghy, it's very light, <95lbs.

Marty, if I recall your Trinka is 11'? The Captains Gig is 9.5' which accounts for some of the lightness. I'd liked longer, but my transom is just over 10' and wanted to avoid overhang.
