Great to see the Gaff rigged boats racing on the Swan River today...
Some photos below and another 20 on my photo blog here:-

I'm always amazed at how much sail these couta boats carry. Why don't they tip over ?.
They are no slouch - they were getting along nicely on the Swan River.....
Even pretty quick downwind despite no spinnaker....

Lots of beam and internal lead ballast plus crew weight on the windward rail. Hard work but lots of fun to sail.
