Brrr , just 2°C and a big windchill, thermals on today. Met up with Richard Ayres this morning who came to take some pictures for Wessex K.P.A. our chosen charity. Richard interestingly has also done a round Britain sailing challenge, much of it single handed.
Watanga was picked up yesterday and sat in the slings overnight giving me a chance to antifoul the centreboards. before going into the water this morning.
The mast was restepped and the rigging tensioned before she was towed off to her berth. Time for me to nip off to Kemps sailmakers to pick up the new sails. Excellent timing by them!
All very exciting, I can’t wait to try them out. Before we do any sea trials, I have to connect up the mast wiring, but that will have to wait as there are light winds tomorrow so a good time to get the sails on.
