In 15 knots of flooky S-SW breeze, we stonked down Southampton water, almost kept up with the ferry and overtook every other sailing boat (dinghys aside) . Average? 7.5 knots. Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!She sailed like a dream. We had just the one hiccup, a slide on the mainsail the sailmaker forgot to change and managed to jam the bastard thing, but sorted quickly. It feels great to be back out there.
If sailing this season is going to be anything like today's blast, then we're going to have a good year.
