Finally she has arrived and been handed over. More pictures as promised  Always sunny in Scotland.  Even the swans come to look   We took her out for our first sail yesterday, the wind got up to about 20 knots and we used the reefing system which went well. Our top speed was 8.5 knots in about 15-16 knots of wind. So far she handles beautifully. The Autopilot chart plotter was amazing, it sailed for us to the first two way points, mind you it took a while to figure out how it works. We passed another Hanse motoring in I do not know who he was, and I do not know all the models well enough to recognise the size.  We had fun, and saw seals and porpoise.Jon. ------------- Jonathon. |

Can't wait to experience the scenery in June - looks lovely ( and so does the boat). Cheers. Charles ------------- 'MERIDIAN LADY' 320 Nr 536 2010 Medway |

I am stunned by both the boat and the scenery. I hope life will be long enough to let me get there one day. (No, I am not sick but there is so little time. You probably know what I mean.) Johan -------------  http://www.johanhackman.se" rel="nofollow - http://www.johanhackman.se |
