RTI 2025

Not as forecast. Departed at 0730 for an 0830 start with 18kts at Bramble. On way out shook out the no.2 reef and made reasonable start with single reef and jib. Made really good time with Grumpspointing nice and high! Cut Varvassi close and then made way into Brightstone bay… excellent rounding of St. Catherine’s and still no sign of 30+kt winds!!! Dunnose and then into Sandown bay before gybing out and leaving West Princessa to S/B. Rounded Bembridge to port and made for Ryde post.stepping out round shallows. Long beat to Castle Point where wind died and ended the day tacking into a foul tide with NO WIND. Finally finished in rain!!!! Yuk Would have done better if the vang hadn’t parted off Castle Point!!!!!!!!

Windy and fresh. First day with crew bringing the boat from Lymington to Hamble. Gybed up the Solent. Rounded up in the led of castle point where we dropped the second reef in.

Before bearing away to Hamble. Sailed in then rounded up and dropped main at no.5. Berthed in C10
