Hi everyone,
Kermadec is in the water. We didn't pick the best day for the first of the 'sea-trials', but it was a full success. The winds were all over the place and gusting to 20 kts+. In hindsight, starting wit a reef would have been a good idea. The tip of the boom ended up in the water a couple of times, but the boat (and crew) dealt with the conditions vey well. With only 60 kg of lead she is pretty stiff. Another 30 kg + gear, and she will be happy in any conditions. This will be a lot of fun ...
Cheers,
Peter
