Yertle The Turtle
With the sail rigged, I stepped back aboard and Yertle scooted off in a light 10 knot breeze.  The boat is quick (for a pram) and manueverable.  Overall the hull is very stable but it's just tippy enough to make it a good sail trainer. 

Before the afternoon was over, Buddy and I both climbed onboard and went for a sail together. It took a bit of coordination to appropriately distribute our 350+ lbs but Yertle was unfazed.

It was an outstanding first outing... Standby for more adventures!
