Jeanneau 440 Sea Trial

James Douglas

Really light wind early in the day but picked up once we got offshore a bit. Chartered the boat through SailTime with Instructor/ Captain Alan Barr, who was very knowledgeable. Learned the “hove to” maneuver, a defensive tactic for heavy wind sailing. Swells were pretty much flat. Saw some dolphins right before the end of the trip. It was an awesome first-time experience on a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440. Quite an amazing boat!
