Boran's Notes
Special trip with Carole to dear friends.
Sailed without engine because the old one was defective and the new one has not arrived yet.
Challenging anchor approach
Incidents
-
During the approach to Pentrez, the wind picked up to a fresh breeze. It flipped the SUP around which had been inflated and strapped to the side of the starboard hull. Had to recover and deflate the SUP while sailing.
-
The turnbuckle of the starboard-rear shroud disconnected. Luckily no part was lost, and I could connect it while sailing.
Lessons learned
-
Deflate and store SUP below deck while sailing.
-
Check all turnbuckles on all shrouds every time in the take-off procedure (it is part of the checklist)
