... The Mills designed Picnic Cat has a tendency to drag her scuppers, too. I always sail with the plugs in place but that's definitely a compromise. One day I...
Hi, Larry, On my Picnic Cat, wet feet are the boat's way of telling me I'm not doing my part to sail her on her fore and aft designed water line. After all,...
I'm against the plugs. We have the flappers, good enough. Not water tight but they don't have to be. I don't care if the water rolls in as long as it rolls...

Welcome to aboard! It is a great resource with plenty of experience! If you have any questions or concerns please let me or Larry know. Sounds like you found...
The first thing to do in any knock-down and the boat does not pop upright again, is to free all sails because they fill with water and make it more difficult...
