It is a bit of a novelty for EDYC but everyone seems to be fairly impressed.  I'll be the first to admit it sounded a bit crazy at first (and probably still does) but I paddled over to Dunnyneils tonight for a spot of fish and then sailed her home.  Can't be bad with that  ;)

Look at this for an image of relaxation lol:



Turns out I can sail big boats too.  Found out this evening we came 1st in the Early Season Cruiser II Class at EDYC so Champagne at the weekend  ;D

Here's the vessel we claimed 1st Place with:

Thanks Twenty... If you get a chance some time let your sis see the pics and vids here so that she can see her handy work. I'm still amazed at the job she did. The sail looks very professional. If it had of been me in control of the sewing machine it would have ended up looking like a busted welly  :D
