Just thought I'd take a quick peek at Marinetraffic to see what other yachts were around St Kitts right now... (and in case you were transmitting)

The first I clicked on was Katari..

But unless you've lost a hull, it's not you..

The only other yacht showing in the area was Tellus..

I think I went cross eyes trying to see if it was a catamaran or a trimaran :/

It that like that for camouflage.

I believe Rummy's craft may be named Kittrina...
Have edited it a bit.
View attachment 145118

The double F and 27 but is removed.
Took weather vane off
Removed ‘7’ from mainsail
Revised the ‘batten’ line on jib
Removed blip on starboard outrigger
Adjusted bottom line of starboard outrigger
Removed ‘housing’ under mainsail
Removed ‘rails’ at base of jib.
Should perhaps have the name KITTRINA (yes I know it is spelt incorrectly on the drawing) across bottom ?

I voted for over 8 hours, because I fear the voyage won't be completed.
The proposed route shows the vessel will make landfall by running aground between Sandy Point & Palmetto Bay, somewhere near Half Way Tree - or perhaps Bloody Point. I urge that the skipper reconsider the passage plan.
You were right.
Just got home. Off old road the bolts holding the folding mechanism parted.

They appeared to have suffered cavity corrosion.

Managed to replace them. See new post for full story tomorrow.IMG_1999.jpeg
