Great story in MAIB by John Sperry

Dale,

You just haven't gotten the latest issue yet. Since I built and sailed the boat in the article before selling it to John and Lynn Sperry, I have a proprietary interest in their travels and travails. "Loon" has to be one of the most active beach cruisers around. The Outer Banks, Maine, Canada and Great lakes while we had it and now the Great Salt Lake and Mexico.

I marveled at the amount of gear they managed to cram into Loon for their latest adventure. Also sweated out the jibing entry into a downwind harbor with an overloaded boat in strong wind and waves. The Bay River Skiff 15 is a grand boat but was never intended to be pushed this hard. They would be much better off in a CS 17 or better yet, a CS 20.
