@@deanpurcell7771 Absolutely, a beautiful design that’s so easy to rig and launch, sails well in a wide range of conditions and a wonderful community of Melonseed skiff sailors aka Melonheads! Thanks for watching.

Don’t you get tired of not being able to straighten out your legs? It looks so cramped and uncomfortable, my knees would be killing me.

@@RustyKnorr I don’t find the Melonseed to be uncomfortable … the cushions make a big difference especially the back rest. The boat has good form stability so it’s easy to stand up now and again to stretch out or just hang my feet over the side. Also, every time I tack, I’m briefly up on my feet so that regularly changes my posture. For sure, however, this is a 14 foot dinghy so having some flexibility helps!
