Spinnaker

Not everything is dirty work on a boat. Sometimes you get to have fun too! Here we tested our new spinnaker. It's actually an older spinnaker but looks unused. 2.2oz weight with a nice silky hand to it, we've ordered a sock to help douse it while on the journey. The test took place at the dock and good thing too because it took three of us just to get it hauled in and we barely had any wind that day! It's really going to be a winner once we get to the trade winds south of here. They blow almost continually at our back as we head towards the South Pacific, so the lightweight spinnaker will pull us along with ease. Hopefully the sock will arrive next week and we can take her out for a test sail and fly "The Beast" on Sirena.
