GregW 28 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Thanks Phil for the awesome pics. Well what a great day. Launched this am and Graeme and I had a few hours sailing to try everything out. She sails well (sails look great Bill) and is very nicely balanced, points well and tacks like a dinghy. Not a lot of wind most of the time but we managed to crack 9 kn with the sheets just sprung in what would only have been about 12 knots of breeze. I'm pretty damn stoked. Just a few things to finish off (like the wiring and sort out some bird nets. Will post more updates as I get used to sailing her. Many many thanks to all who have taken an interest and helped out in various ways. It would have been a lot harder without all the advice, support and input. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
