This was a trip up Southampton Water to the River Hamble. SotonMet logged it as F6 gusting F7. We were double reefed on the main with about 4/5 rolls in the jib. The wind was strong enough that we struggled to motor mainly because of the short chop. She sailed extremely well though, tacking all the way - 14 miles or so in total.

The long anticipated premier of the first two MC31s to hit the water played out in today’s passage race between Melbourne and Geelong for the start of the Geelong Festival of Sails. With John Taylor’s Vindaloo and Rohan Veal’s 38 South Racing sailing their respective boats quite literally ‘straight out of the box’ – Rohan’s sails arrived in Melbourne this morning – both skippers were delighted with their first outing, and are looking forward to using their kites tomorrow, after an upwind race today. www.mcconaghyboats.com www.facebook.com/McConaghyBoats @Yachting World @Sailing World magazine @Seahorse Sailing Magazine @Yachting Australia @Sailing Anarchy @Live Sail Die @Sail World @Australian Sailing + Yachting @NSW Maritime @TPDmedia @Scuttlebutt Sailing News
