I concur with all of jaysens points: less board depth, deck cover for splash, add a jib. My opinion is that with such a light boat, whitecap waves will def slow you down upwind. Try moving some weight forward to reduce seesawing, reduce launching.

Sucks about the case but I suspect you'll have that sorted out in no time.

Awesome that Landon is so stoked on it, that could be the start of a great hobby/obsession!
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.
