Moth West

finally the dazzle moth has hit the water! (about time too, a combination of work and too much sanding have been holding this back for too long...!) Headed down to Cheddar for the first outing to join the bristol crew along with DJ and Richard .

Following some intial teething problems (well, my having drilled the gantry pin hole in the wrong place...) and some rapid repair / modification at the hand of squadron leader Cookie the boat behaved beautifully now all I need to do is remember how to sail properly again.. Did manage to pull off a couple of flying tacks too...(I was perhaps more surprised at this than anything else though I think it will be a while before they will be intentional rather than fluke... )

Thanks to Darren for the pictures and Mike and Emma for putting me up and all their help with the boat. Not sure if this sums up the mood properly, perhaps a bit crass, though some of the sentiment is there, well most of it....! - video....
