Well done Joe!
10 Welsh points.

I would have said less looking at the still pic. Blowing NNE f6-7 for
previous three days. 2.5-3 metres sea. Looking back towards Dublin,
approaching Wicklow head. SOG about 12 kts with only 1/3 foresail
out, no main but about 4-5kts. tide with us.

Heading for start of Celtic Challenge 2004.

6.0 It only surfs downwind.

Yeah, it is not very pretty above the waterline. The pullpit is inside
the forestay. Handy to sit in the hatch and clip on to change
jibs.The plastic pipe does not help the looks either but at least I
can see it without glasses! I put my effort into fixing the keel and a
few other things when it broke the box and started swinging like a
pendulum. I'll worry about cosmetics later.
Time for bed.. Cheers.
