Yolo is first and foremost a sailing boat.. With no racing, it does not mean no sailing.. So a Sail was in order.
A perfect day, motoring out there were flat windless conditions.. With local knowledge the call was still made to make the J4 ready.. around the corner Yolo continued her motor up to the Paarden Island area where we could see the start of the SE. Once there, motor cut, and beat for a minute or two followed by a bear away and a hoist of the kite. The winds rapidly increased topping out at 30 knots in the Milnerton area.. giving for a great downwind leg. A kite strike and then a sail across the bay. We then stayed in the bay reaching up and down following by a pack away and Yolo anchoring at Granger Bay for an hour. Great sail was had. Boat performed well. Aboard were: Ian, Sieger, Dale and Guest Jan.
