Plymouth Sound sail about

Janet Hughes

Went out into the Sound for a local sail and to test the new lazy jack lines were positioned correctly. The mainsail was much easier to raise without the battens getting caught in the lines. Once we passed the breakwater the wind picked up to W20-23. We had one reef in each sail and felt comfortable - just! We returned into the Sound and the wind and seas died down in the lee of the land. Locked in to the Marina during a lull. Berthed from the opposite direction after reversing into the channel.
