Looking good guys! Launch date? It'd be cool if we could hit the water on the same date. Combo re-launch Cherub style at Grafham.

Certainly has come a long way since our "incident" in June.  Nice work Joe. Looking good guys! Launch date? It'd be cool if we could hit the water on the same date. Combo re-launch Cherub style at Grafham.
Um, Team Taking Liberties follow the 10 degree rule - we don't go out until it's warmer than that. We'll try and get her fitted out and ready before it's warm, so that she's ready to go as soon as her wimpish crew are ready to brave the cold. |

When are you launching then Ross? I've got to splice some rigging and refit the self tacker then we're more or less good to go. Should be sorted in a couple of hours work.. As mentioned, Team Libs do not like the cold. |

As mentioned, Team Libs do not like the cold. I get back from a skiing trip around the 21st. I hope to have a full suit of sails shortly after and then it's just a few fittings, ropes and good clean. I'm also getting the Dr's to come and give me a C-tech/fyfe(ish) tuning crash course. |

We'll not be getting wet before March, and even then it's going to take some serious global warming  Peter, I might take a trip up on Sunday, if not feel free to peel the cover off and have a look. She's in the 3rd block of boats from the clubhouse, about halfway up from the water. Up high on a trailer so pretty easy to spot! |

Sailing damage. A bendy pole, a big gust and perhaps a poor kite operator (me) put enough sideways load into the snout that it ripped off. We were sailing along at a reasonable speed when it happened, I landed in the water thinking we'd just had a regular Team Liberties dunking, only to surface and see the mast in it's normal horizontal position, but the boat floating upright.... Kudos to the Grafham rescue team though, we floated so long that I started to tow the boat back to shore by swimming. |

Yup, just wasn't supported properly laterally. I'm pretty sure you could drive a tank over it now.
