  • Schedule running late? So far the speed of this yacht is less than anticipated from Fremantle. I hope I begin to sail faster or it will cost me an extra month or so to my schedule.

  • I am very pleased with my Tasker sails made by young Chris Sherlock. I think they are superb. The mainsail has now been continuously used for 277 days and still going strong – thanks Chris
