M12
My friend, Ewald Bengel, and I both have M12 class sailboats; 42" length, weighing 16+lbs, designed for sailing in weedy ponds or lakes. We took them to his cottage and sailed them in deep water on Oak Lake north of Havelock, Ontario, Canada. A Great afternoon of sailing!

M12
These Canadian Geese slipped into the pond when I was sailing today. They left the boat alone, but was told if they got irritated my sailboat would be attacked. Guess I shall keep my distance, eh!

    From the photo it seems they and you were minding your own business not disturbing each other keeping your distances. I would imagin if you went for or toward them they would get aggressive but it's all nature and we're there to enjoy - great photo and experience thanks

    Where our group sails we also have a couple of swans in the water.If we stay away from them they do not get upset.As soon as we arrive to float our boats the ducks move away.Just waiting for the ice to clear so we can have our regular Tuesday mornings.

Mini-12
Sailing on the pond at the former Canterbury Golf Club, Port Perry, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦

This is a Mini-12 Sailboat designed for sailing in weedy ponds. The rudder is attached to its shorter keel and weighs 12lbs+, and 42" length. it uses the Soling mast and sail area.

I am still learning how to handle this boat but it is sure fun!

    Nice setting. I see you use pond yacht type hulls. We have to in the summer due to floating weed in our lake.
    Is this a kit or scratch built?
    Certainly looks fun and I see you are training the mate for his masters ticket!
