At last Vanharouva was launched 30.6 and yesterday was the first short sailtrial.
The performance surprised positively both downwind and to windward, both speed and balance ok and ease of handling as expected, to my great pleasure because this was the chief reason to the rig modification. I was diagnosed Parkinsons disease in 2009 and first I
thought that I had o finish sailing but after a while I realized that the boat needed some modifications to suit my weakening balance.
Wind vane still in workshop but should be ready for trials later this week, trim tam already in place.
More details and photos later,
