Then, more recently, I got some boat and trailer registration!
And the ElCheapoJeepo towed her up to Bribie Island for the first launch in a long, long time.
About an hour and a half to set up at the boat ramp by myself, and then the launch...
It was a fail... as soon as the yot left the trailer, the cable holding up the swing keel failed, and 340kg of lead swung down and pinned the yot to the boat ramp.
So I pulled it back in on the trailer and went back home. The bride was not amused.
I replaced the old hemp rope with some modern Dyneema, then picked a weekday for a repeat attempt, this time with the handy forum member, 73

Next minute... we're sailing! Both with no experience, we did a 20km trip, complete with a passing storm!
