Light winds to start with from the W/SW died after several hours but thankfully came back until we broke the jib and had to motor 🤬

Early start to the day an eye watering 0430 departure. Had wind for the first 1.5 hours but that went was freezing cold!

This passage is what champagne sailing is all about beautiful weather and sea conditions. Sailing against the wind and tide but that didn’t matter the sun was shining

Beautiful morning for it sadly very little wind so a simple steam down

Early start and not much doing on the wind front steamed to Bembridge managed to sail for an hour then it dropped. On the plus side sun came out and had a lovely smooth crossing to Braye

Not the best of conditions wind dropped after 3 miles rain came but we were coming home so all good 👍

Set off in a southerly F3 and making real progress by the time we hit the race conditions had strengthened to a 4 and saw some good speed. Pipedreamer really delivered and put a smile on everyone’s face as the realisation of what we’ve now have. Sadly wind died and the donkey was on but still impressive speeds we like our new boat! We also encountered some Tuna feeding which was a real treat 👍

Early start and wind was already blowing westerly 5 and a bit overcast set sail from inside the harbour. After a couple of hours the sun joined us which made for a very pleasant sail. The wind gods were very kind to us and managed to sail all the way to #4 PHM epic!

Very gentle conditions a complete lack of wind sadly was promised some later in the afternoon but didn’t come
