Sailing Weekend on the TRENT

With the fantastic weather this weekend took Holly out on the Trent, with the intention to sail her up to Cranfleet lock. This has given me another look at the new cruiser rig and to see how she handles compaired to the previous hybrid rig used last year. I have found  there are more changes to be made and am hopefull that within the next month all problems can be ironed out. Unfortunatly the destination was that little bit to far before the jib sheet broke away but after a repair i sailed back to the sailing club to have a well deserved cup of tea. Another problem the starter cog on the honda outboard broke ( why is it made out of plastic?) so that will be a trip to the local dealer. I have given myself a list of jobs to keep me busy for the nex few weeks.
