Skills practise back to Yarmouth

Claire Cummings

The day started foggy so we nipped into Cowes for a brew and browse and emerged from the cobbled streets into glorious sunshine and clearing skies. When the wind was down it was great to practice leadibg hoisting and lowering sails with a very willing-to-play-dumb crew and great tips from the YachtMaster Skipper. Then the wind picked up and we enjoyed tacking and sail trimming en route to Lymington.
