First Sail

The boat was launched on the 3rd January 2012. A few days later we took her for her first sail, accompanied by the sailmakers. Boat went well, we sailed in the lighter breeze and hoisted the full inventory. On finishing we worked back into the South Easter and did a brief beat in 33 knot of wind with the J4. All worked well abaord.
