Sagitta re-launch 3rd May 2023
Sagitta is now back in the water! This photo was taken by Darren Newton of Dazcat fame (who had built Sagitta's daggerboards back in 1990) during a Tuesday evening club race. We were the only boat to race with a dinghy in davits and a generator and dinghy outboard cluttering up the cockpit!
Racing is a great way to learn how to sail the boat efficiently, especially on very short courses - we were sailing round buoys we normally use when dinghy racing. But it's not for the faint hearted, as this photo shows - note the hand in the bottom right corner, this was not a telephoto shot. A J24 claimed they never saw us until it was almost too late but fortunately they tacked in time, the photo was taken after we had separated, apparently one J24 crew was ready to fend us off.
This was also the first time using our new racing headsail. Beautifully made by Highwater Sails. Cannot wait for the new mainsail! I'll be racing as much as I can, but I really need a good, multihull experienced, regular crew. Send me your CV if interested!
