She's in the water. Sea trialled and we are off!!
From Itchenor (South coast of England not far from Portsmouth) we set off and did a marathon to Falmouth, crossing the bay of Biscay, and down the Spanish/Portuguese coasts to get away from the Northern winter. Here are a few quick pix of the launch and sea trials. I am going to keep the blog going (more frequently now we have a bit of breathing room) with updates on new equipment and our experiences with the new boat and her systems.
Out of the Factory - wooo hoo!
Mast goes up right in front of the factory
On to the travel trailer already rigged
Travel trailer loads to the marine railway.
With 5 meter tides we had to be ready by 1400 or wait till next day
