Joyce and I decided today was the day we would get out and see how this boat worked. The breeze was up to about 15kts when we unfurled the genoa. "Magic time" the boat began to heel and accelerate up to 6kts when we killed the engine, Sweet. The wind creeped past 20 and we were doing 8+ on the genoa, this is what I'm talking about. It was a great 1st sail, I was a little nerved up with the sizer and power of the boat and gear but with the over sized winches trimming the genoa was not unmanageable. Joyce was amazing as usual, her can do attitude really is a great motivator "she makes me want to be a better man":) We arrived back to our mooring safe and sound and had a victory toast now that we had our first sail behind us.
