We made a 7sqm screecher for our 14ft plywood Zeta trimaran and tried it today. As you can see from the mirror like surface there wasn't much wind! It was all a lash up, I have no cleats for mainsheet or screecher so had to handhold everything. But it sailed well and tacked easily. You can build your own Zeta trimaran from 7 sheets of ply in 150 hours. The boat weighs 73kgs, 160lbs, ex rig.

In next Friday’s full episode we set sail from the Aeolian Islands bound for Corsica with light winds forecast….the wind was so light at times that we found ourselves becalmed on a mirror flat sea drifting around in circles or backwards. We tried to be patient but then dark clouds began to appear and the radar tracked storms moving towards us. Wind then arrived allowing us to finally sail but when the lightning started we realised we needed to try to get out of the path of the storm…. #boatlife #sailing #sailinglife #becalmed #medsailing #sailaroundtheworld
