First Sail & Evaluating Our DIY Lead Keel [2.24]

We have a sailboat and one thing we haven't done yet, is to take her out for a test sail. In this episode we go out on the water for a first test sail. As with a new sailboat there is a lot of things to test, but on major thing for us was the keel we cast ourselves a few months ago. We are Thomas and Petra and late August 2020 we left Sweden to start our first sailing adventure. We sailed for a year to the Caribbean and back again. October 2023 we bought a new sailboat, a Wasa 530 that is need of some renovation. On our channel you will be able to follow our process - from buying a sailboat that has been standing for 10+ years and turning her into a perfect blue water cruiser! Our plan going forward is to post a new video bi-weekly on Saturdays.
