Still in shock how @georgmoeller slid across the deck to save my drone from hitting the water. A few seconds later and it would have been gone I had a tloater attached, but the problem is it takes a few minutes to take down the sails, start the motor and turn the boat by then the drone would be long gone between the waves. It was also raining pretty heavily, even if it doesn't really show in the video @sebastian_schieren #yachtdesign, #exclusiveyachts, #travel, #spinnakermagazine, #spinnakerbureau

As always, Sagitta spent the winter ashore at the Multihull Centre, Millbrook, Cornwall. I first came here in 1982, we built our Gwahir, Gypsy, Wizard, Elf and Eclipse here, so it's very much a home from home! This winter a major job was to fit a Tidestrack mainsail luff track which hopefully will make it much easier to hoist the mainsail. I have a high tech "black" sail which is very much lighter than my old dacron sail - I can easily carry it unaided - but it's still an effort to raise. The mast is still down because it's much easier to crane the boat in with the mast down and then step it after launching. The video was taken from the top of the cabin roof and shows just how many different multihulls are packed in for winter storage - and this is only part of the yard! The boats vary year by year, this year there are four Sagittas and two Windsongs in the yard.
