Ayesha II - Sea Trials

Sea Trials

Ayesha II

Wed 4 Jan 2017 21:37

Today was our first experience with the new twin headsail set up.

Under the watchful eye of Stan Pearson and Bishop from Antigua Rigging, who have put a lot of time in on this for us to come up with an efficient, chafe free and soft shackles everywhere way to deploy this system. Even the weather co-operated with the wind finally abating to low to mid teens. Captain reported it felt very stable underway with the ability to sail some 20 degrees off directly downwind.
