Hi. Love it. Nicely trimmed for the weather, skipper. Looking at one for sale. How do you find it solo? I recall flipping a CL 14 with an adult when I was a kid in gusty weather, tricker than a Laser maybe esp to right. . Can you hold it down with the main reefed perhaps? Or if really blowing tack it home with the jib? I've sailed otlut of Toronto and am now on an esposed stretch of the Ottawa near Montreal and I'm around 85 kg... or do you simply pick your days on Lake Ontario for solo sailing...
I notice you are close hauled with very little heeling. Looks like a light wind? Did you have full sail up? I find my boat heels much more in even moderate wind and I spend a lot of time sitting up on the rail.
Hey this is awesome! I'm sailing a CL-14 out of Toronto Harbour, myself. I love seeing stuff like this. I haven't taken the boat further than Ashbridge's Bay yet. Where were you headed when you shot this?

How did you rig your tiller handle?
Freakin green with envy. Tellus more about your autopilot setup. Please.

It's just a bungee cord to keep the tiller centered.

Was heading out about 3 miles straight south . Just a great day!
I would also like to hear about the auto pilot.
Just a bungee cord. The secret is setting the sails so that the boat stays on course.
