The main pushes the boat along very nicely, the sail-maker said it had good 'bones' and with the new flexi battens it has a good wing shape.
The only thing that needs to completing, is the dodger and sail cover, the man has promised me that it will be done by next Wednesday.
The motor has done it's sea trials, we can get, just on 7 knots out of her into a headwind, the new three blade folding prop works well.
Our only challenge is Oscar (dog) he is absolutely petrified of just walking down the marina, we finally, after two visits, got him to venture down the finger that our boat is moored.
He was visited by 3 black swans that hang around the marina, normally they would be fair game but he just sat still and growled.
It's going to take a bit of patience to get him on board and be a 'boat dog' so it's slowly slowly.
