Lee modified the design and added ballast, a centerboard ,decks and flotation making Kari-San a safe boat to sail in the Puget Sound waters, even in strong winds. I am unable to stand up, making the sprit rig difficult to handle without crew. With the help of Sean Rankin of Northwest Sails and Canvas, Kari-San has been changed to a lug rig with all lines led aft to the seat by the tiller.
