Father and son about to finish their sail in the ship canal. They had a brisk wind and traveled swiftly in their self-made deep hulled little centerboard dinghy.The well trimmed sail was made ingeniously from the common building material used as a vapor barrier between siding and a house. I love to see economical sailors out messing about in their boats. This one was hauled out easily and placed in a self made carrier atop their family car. Seattle supposedly has the highest number of boats per capita of any city in the USA.
