First post for a while, mainly due to lack of new’s. After months of work, Watanga was very nearly ready when she launched. I had planned to get her in the water a month ahead of the leaving date to allow for sea trials and lots of snagging work. Fortunately, so far there has only been a small water leak on the calorifyer connections. and a wiring problem to sort out.
Unfortunately the problem with the new mainsail delayed the sea trials but I’m picking it up today. Fingers crossed it’s right this time.

Hopefully we can take her for a short trip this weekend, perhaps as far as the Solent I’m guessing it will be busy as it’s Easter. Mondays weather looks awful so hopefully back by Sunday afternoon.
Talking of the weather, it is far from settled, and it’s still quite cold at night, must check we have stowed hot water bottles.
