ITS A SAILBOAT AGAIN


It has been a very long time since I have put somthing down to say where I am with Holly.
The mast is now complete and works fairly well, I have put the forsail with roller reefing system in place and now have sorted out putting a mainsail on the boat.
This last weekend with the help of a friend from the local sailing club we took Holly out on the River Trent under sail for the first time. This was mainly to test all the rigging and how she handles. The only problem was that the river trent is well known for the trees so sailing was some what ristricted, although I would say that the sail wasnt wasted
