17th April 2016

The Swallow Yachts BRe was out for her first sail of the year and belongs to James (?). It was interesting seeing the Hawk 20 Cabin version on the slip at the same time. The BRe looked sleek whereas the Hawk looked dumpy! In fact the Hawk is a similar width to Seatern so I shouldn't gloat!

The 18 foot skiff weighs 160 kg all up, there wasn't quite enough wind to get it really going. Not to forget the gaff rigged Mirror - I thought they were all gunter or (more modern) bermudan!
