Indeed 40' Kaufman Screamer

As luck would have it, I have not been able to sail Indeed nearly as much as I would like to have.  In fact, I have not even had time to get her rigging modified to suite my needs and desires.  Perhaps the 2005 season will be more rewarding.

However, those times that I have sailed her (even with jury-rigged lines and rigging), Indeed has proven to be a very fun, spirited, fast, and stable boat to sail.  So far, all of my sailing has been single-handed and late in the season (i.e. cold).  Also, much of it has been in inclement weather requiring single and double reefs.  Despite the conditions and my slow learning curve, I have always come back very happy and satisfied with having enjoyed sailing a real thoroughbred sailboat.

In some ways, sailing Indeed is like sailing a big Laser.  She is extremely responsive and maneuverable.  However, with her 10' beam she is also very stable.  I can hardly wait to get her set up to my liking and enjoy her in good weather.

These are the first pictures of Indeed that I found on the web.   (click on pictures to see a larger image in a separate window)
