The wind was looking borderline No1/No2 weather, but with forecasts suggesting a windy day the No2 was chosen. After a few rigging errors and Mark forgetting his harness, the boat was ready to go and the boys layered up ready to hit the water. However, when it came to launching, the wind picked up to above sensible for the new boat. As the last sail was on the edge of control, the boys decided to call it a day and pack up.
Tomorrow sees a potentially similar day, but the team are keen to get out for a morning power hour to get some boat handling practice before the wind gets up later in the day. Ant will be slotting in for an absent Mark and hopefully give a fresh perspective on heavy weather sailing.
