BayCruiser 1 launched (and she floats!)

(1/5) > >>

Julian Swindell:
Nearly there. Matt launched BayCruiser 1, Daisy Grace yesterday for first test sail, and I went over and sailed for the first time today. Just jib and mizzen as it was force 5 plus, and all went well. Still final bits to do, but I am hoping to take her home and down to Poole Harbour by the middle of next week. I think there will be interesting capsize test videos shortly.

Craic:
Julian and Matt,
congratulations, she looks gorgeous.
More photos, please!
Claus

Julian Swindell:
Thanks Claus. I am walking around with a silly grin on my face. But I still have not seen her with the mainsail up yet, which will be very interesting. There is a horizontal full width batten near the top to give a big roach, which will look quite distinctive.
I have attached some more photos, but remember she is not finished yet. Spry hood and several fittings still to go on, interior fitted with cushions etc. Hope all done by next Wednesday

Julian Swindell:
I have added a YouTube video to my website to show how easy she is to launch

Craic:
Julian,
I also like the inside, very much. I had no idea how much space is in there. I like that partition between dining and sleeping room. Cosy.

Best of luck for your first sails and henceforth.

Claus
