Nice shot - pity about the dinghy astern though......

 

[Seanick]

Agree about the dinghy, but we can load it with 4 adults,two babies, two buggies and a dog which we cannot do in the clinker dinghy. Its also very fast for shopping and dog runs!
If anyone has photoshop they are welcome to remove it!

She looks like she has the bit between her teeth, great picture!

I love to see a proper boat sailing

How many of those 4 adults does it take to tack a lugger like that?

 

[Seanick]

She has standing lugs so the mizzen looks after itself, just the main, stays'l and jib have to be bought across. You can do it single handed but its slow. For racing three is good, but two energetic peeps is fine in flat water. We always sleep well........... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
Anyway, two of the adults are holding the babies!

 

[oughtoc]

Cool, thanks

Jealous. But then, Cleone has only just gone back in herself and still being rigged. But then, its not like we've had nice sailing weather for the summer. Espanola's been sat stuck anchored in Holyhead for a fortnight. Roll on the indian summer...

 

[Seanick]

Summer is this weekend! Don't miss it!
We do need the wind...but not so much please. Mind you anything is better than this paperwork......ZZZZZzzzzz
Of course I would get it done a lot quicker if I turned the router off!

You need to put the wake back in again. The dinghy can't have been causing all of it - now it looks as if the ship has mysteriously stalled.

 

[Lakesailor]

There, that's better

 

[chrishelen]

How do you do that? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[Lakesailor]

It's magic. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Seanick]

Oh you guys are so clever! I'll stick with wood nails and paint!
Thanks though.
Finished with paperwork now, its 2 hrs to HW, so I am off to take the Granddaughter and Great Great Grandsons of a chap who used to fish on Ocean Pearl up in Fraserbrough, out for a sail. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
