Third sail of the season

Topsy turvy weather this spring so far, March gave us a mini-heatwave and April has seen chilly winds with lots of showers.  I bought two new sails for this season, the main sail fitted fine but I couldn't get the genoa to roll up on the furling gear, due to it being too long. The local agent, who measured the boat up for the sails, was very helpful and without any hesitation arranged for the genoa to be altered so that it would fit correctly.

Today was the first chance to try it out and all is well, more than well, what a difference in the performance of the boat.  Can't wait for the warm weather to arrive and get some long passages in.  Today was an anti-clockwise tour of Great Cumbrae with a gentle wee breeze, gloves, hats and a warm cup of soup to keep us going.
