That's a Walker Bay. It just has to be a Walker Bay.

I got a sudden vision of them getting to the water, and then - instead of unloading the boat - just tipping it the other way and rowing off with a car jutting out at about the same angle...

You could probably tow it on the road and not hurt it.

Mine seems to be pretty tough.

Not a favorite boat though...all the personality of a milk jug and an AWFUL sailboat. Board is too thin and stalls. Rudder has no feel. Sail it well and keep the foils working and it is fine. Stall them and you just go sideways.

That's a boat designed to be manufactured easily with handling characteristics considered as an afterthought.

It sorta looks like a boat but it isn't really.

Work is overrated.

Most everything you read on the Internet is wrong.

"It sure pops out of a mold nicely!" 100% agreed. I still like it since it is a no worries boat. Not worth what they charge for it though.

I worry too much about the dyer 12.5 I have, but it is a great sail boat and row boat. Soo much fun to sail!!!! Carries nicely on with a pull of the oars.
