New to me, Welsford Walkabout

I'm the new custodian of a Welsford Walkabout built by Anthony. When I picked it up, the hull was mostly finished but the sail rig had never been completed. I've been slowly getting the boat ready:

  • storage cover
  • daggerboard
  • trailer modifications
  • sail rigging 
The sails are beautifully crafted out of traditional materials - cotton and hemp. I love the look and feel of them, but I'm not sure how practical they will turn out to be.
