Daniel sails his McGregor trailer-sailor on Lake Champlain, navigating into shallow, secluded river anchorages with a draft of nine inches.6:46 He sails upwind using only the Genoa, reporting an average speed of 3.9 knots and a high of 5.4 knots in winds under 10 knots.6:58 To enter shallow water, he raises the rudders and centerboard and uses a 50-horsepower outboard motor.7:28 The trip includes kiteboarding sessions near a sandbar, where he compares using a directional board to a twin-tip board.14:55 He notes that the twin-tip board allows for easier transitions and safer foot release during maneuvers.15:15 The vessel remains anchored in a protected spot near trees and sand, which provide a windbreak.8:54 The owner emphasizes a cruising philosophy focused on downwind sailing and utilizing the boat's shallow draft to access areas inaccessible to larger keelboats.5:32
