First Sail
Hi All,
Went out for the first sail today, in windy, cold SE wind. It went really well, good handling, with some areas for improvements as always. It has a modified IOM deck on it, just wanted to test the hull before making a deck plug, also the foild are just knockups for testing, hull is pretty much production ready. Good speed, will have to try against my IOM for comparision. Few photos below. I love the TP class at the moment, so this fits in with that, and thanks Nigel |
