We finally got the boat out on the water, in a lovely light breeze, put the sails up and sailed. (The wind was too light to resolve my mast rake issue mentioned in the previous post, so the jury is still out on that one.) As you can see in the pictures, it was a lovely blue-sky day, about 20°C. Perfect weather for our first shakedown cruise. All told we were out on the water for just over three hours.
