Of course, day sailing doesn’t mean you can’t go for a moon- light cruise. It merely means that the little ship is not equipped with a cabin, galley and bunks for overnight cruis- ing. Running lights should, of course, be installed for after- dark use. Centerboard design (Fig. 2) reduces Crescent’s draft, so shallow water is not a problem. Its broad beam of over 5% ft. makes it an ideal family boat because there is room for a cockpit large enough to accom- modate four adults or two et A slight brooze of only 4 mph fills Crescent’s sails and she is on her ‘way across the lakCroseent?* "sitar" adults and three kids, and side and forward decks big enough to stretch out on when sun ! ing out, draw in bathing.
