New sails

I've been very busy with work over the last few weeks but have had the opportunity to get sailing the yawl over the past few nights!

The first couple of tentative races have been great to get used to how the boat handles and also to gently introduce my girlfriend to the sport (her first ever sail being last friday!) Learning to sail at the top end of the exe is going to be challenging. A few navigational errors meant I hit the mud several times on our last race, which is not fast : )

Up until today DY 171 did not have her own sails, as I had been using a set that had very kindly been lent to me.
But as of this afternoon she has a brand new set! A few photos are attached below:
