Sailing a Timeless Classic - The Melonseed Skiff

This video is about two Melonseed skiffs sailing on Lake Saint-Louis near Montreal, Quebec, Canada on October 21st, 2024. A fine autumn day and a lively breeze made for a perfect afternoon for our last sail of the 2024 season. The lake level was low so our pivoting PVC centerboards touched the river bottom on a few occasions. We mostly had the lake to ourselves on that day with the exception of a Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft servicing some aids to navigation.
