Ralf,

post a close up of the lashing/cleat while the yuloh is in position when you get a chance! I have a half-finished one in my shop; this may be the impetus I need to finish it! ;~)

The sculling oar is stowed right behind the front beam on the trampoline, it follows the curce of the beam and is not in the way at all.

Speed is hard to say. First I needed to practice because I have never done it before but it got easier quickly. I would guess making 1 or 1.5 knots was no problem as long as there was no wind or current against us. Half way to our anchorage we hoisted the sails in the harbor because we could not make any way against the (weak) headwind.

Kim, picture will come soon.
