I hadn’t thought about stun’sls, ( I know you're joking), but when we’ve fully tried and tested the fore course in all conditions I plan to fit a square top’sl above the fore course yard. Failing that it would be easy to have a raffee to increase the downwind canvas, but they are messy to get up and down.

We were thinking of the Bahamas, which is near for us, or maybe a longer trip to Bermuda, which I’ve done twice before in other boats. The blasted hurricane season is always a consideration down here, so we’ll see.

ROGER.

I've been following your blog off an on for several years, perhaps the whole 8. Honestly I can't believe you pulled off the squaresail rigging, but I do love it. Now you need to get working on some studding sails! 🙂

She's truely majestic.

Where are you cruising to?

It has taken eight years, between working for a living and working on the boat, but it’s now over, NewBritannia.jpgImage Enlarger

but for the re-trim and varnishing. We hope to get out there some time around May, so if you see a whopping great St George’s cross on the horizon, it will be us.
