Still sailing

The Cheshire Cat crew have been having some adventures. 6 of us went to Hamilton Island for race week. But in the lead up we had a couple of races in Balmain. For the first one Dee the additional Hamilton team member joined us from Melbourne and we flew our little blue and white spinnaker with great success. Then the second race we had the big spinnaker we were taking to Hammo and put that up. It's a bit big for Cheshire Cat but helped us fly in the light winds. Even the beak breaking on the pole didn't slow us down for long with John calling for VB cord and tying it on.
And then after returning we went out again last weekend and without the pole fixed we relied on the lovely big headsail. After a good start Jenni took the helm and steered us to third place which was pretty awesome without a spinnaker.
So onwards and upwards for the Cat!
