Thanks!
The sliding seat works great, though I have barely been able to use it in the conditions I've sailed her. I did capsize her once - when I failed to duck far enough under the boom. The wooden mast does a great job of floating her on her side, though, with no tendency to keep going over any further.
In any case, I'm sure that's just one of many capsizes I will have in her, especially as I start on the learning curve.
