after days of putting the trip off we finally set off round 8am and bound for sunny Bala, narrow roads and rugged countryside and views were taken in on the way, breathtaking. we arrived and the boat survived, however we did have to stop to redo the ratchet straps that somehow had worked loose, i think it was where i put them and the boat had shifted forward slightly
we carried on and was ok at the other end.we arrived around 10.45
my crew were briefed on what had to happen. everything went really well
boat was off trailer ok and only problem was feeding main halyard thru the slot of the mast. we did it with the aid of scissors to help push it down.
the mast went up no problem apart from me not being able to get on tramp with the mast as well. so my crew held it then i got on.
everything went perfect.
just a few jobs to do with trapeze lines and bungy cords. and taping off the split rings .
