It is my first attempt at a documentary. The doc is about the Texas 200 I just finished last week. It stars the Pocketship! Check it out!

I'm not convinced (from what I see on film) that the centerboard is really stuck. Mine does the same thing: if moving, the board won't immediately fall. You have to either not be moving or going through a tack. If you lower it as far as it will go, then raise it and drop it again, it will slide down faster. Maybe you were just grabbing the pennant too soon after releasing it?
When anchoring at the first stop, I guess you pulled the anchor onto the beach. Did the stern of Pocketship try to swing around and go sideways to the shore, or did it stay bow-on? Basically, I'm wondering what the best way to anchor at a beach is. Maybe two anchors - one on shore and one in the water, so the boat will stay properly oriented?
