Saturday 29th August 2015 -Work Party

With the Racing Season Close by, it is time to do the odd jobs aboard in preparation. The most important being: Realignment of the rudders. Being a Twin ruddered boat, it is vital to have the rudder alignments correct for the the anticipated conditions. Time was also spent trying to solve a problem on one of the winches aboard

Saturday 22 August 2015

With no racing planned for this weekend, Yolo still goes sailing. Ideal conditions, flat sea and a warm 18 knot south eater, one of the great sailing days, with fast sailing, no water over the deck.. Just good to be on the water.. Most of the sail was spent chasing Tenacity around the bay

SOCIAL SAIL - 10 August 2015

Yolo had not been out sailing for some time, some two months. Winter, family and work commitments etc.. In the interim,Various jobs had been done on Yolo. Conditions were varied, initially making to a Strong Southerly on the South Side of the bay blowing in the Mid 20's, but quite cold, so opted to sail to the Granger Bay Area where a gentle SW was blowing and a nice relaxing sail was had. Discussion ensued about the upcoming season. Aboard were: Dale, Ian and Sieger. Boat performed well.
