Sat 10th Sept 2016..

The goal of this sail was to attend to a number of small items and testing.. A nice day with a S, SE blowing.. Picking up nicely through the afternoon.. Off moorings and first order of business was to do some calibration work on the rudders. The initial work was done in the harbour.. with a noted adjustment been made. Then hoist sails and off into the bay. First order of business was to put a reef in and see that everything was sized up, then the second reef… Once completed, reefs out.. and a nice beam reach across the bay to Milnerton. This leg was used to compare the calibrations, which was found to be much improved… then a sail back to the harbour wall.. Dale wanted to change the calibration further… so boat was depowered and the adjustments were made.. then a sail across the bay.. the sentiment now was that the rudders seemed to be operating at efficiency. Then a sail back to the harbour… where some spinlock jammers were replaced and certain fittings were removed and resealed on refitment as they had been leaking. Aboard were: Dale, Ian, Sieger, Shane and Cath.
