2nd sail of season 25th April 2017

an early start 0630 on the road, i wasnt going to go but had a reason to go and that was to drop pff the laser tiller i forgot to put in the box last time when i dropped the laser off.
i had redone the front stands and added some struts to reinforce them.
"ERL" was rigged and then by 0900 was on the water. had trouble getting the main to click on the top of the mast, also the mainsheet slipped thru the cleats, so either
its warn or the cleats are or both,
boat went well, i was waitng for the wind to pick up as i knew it was going to be 13knts gustings 18 from nw
everything seemed ok, just took it easy. had a really good sail, went out to see the "pelican of london"
sailed for an hour and covered 6.0nm wind was 13knts to 18knts nw
time to test the boat stand, all worked well. wind was cold but sunny
glad i sailed, all filmed with headcam on gopro and bow cam gopro, screenshots later if they came out
