  • Circling Mill Creek
  • One of the three Youth Sailing Virginia Typhoons.

Drove around Mill Creek to break in a new Tahatsu 3.5. For the initial break in on Mill Creek a YSV Typhoon was used.  It was a good motor test driving 4.5 NM.

Gratis (AKA Rattler) which is one of the three Youth Sailing Virginia Typhoons worked great. With 3 more donations of Cape Dory Typhoons, YSV will have 6.  We chose the boat as they look cool and only draft 2.6', about wqivilent to a FJ.  Mill crrek is charted at 3' - 4' so the Typhoons work great.

They have proven to be a great learn to sail boats for adults and groups of kids.  

It was a beautiful  winter day at Fort Monroe.
