First Wind - Main Sail Since 2006
Gaffe Rig Repair - to Allow
for Sailing
Trinity's First Sailing Experience Since 2006
She Handled the Wind Well. We Experienced A Couple of Gusts, She Tilted Between 15 and 30 Degrees. We adjusted the Tiller and eventually . . .She Decided when She was Going to React - When She was Good and Ready.
My Brother Michael's Craftsmanship was Nothing Less Than Amazing and I Hope He Was Smiling Down on Trinity Today!
Trinity is a Breathtaking Boat to Sail!
RT. 35 Draw Bridge at low tide. Bridge, depending on the tide is between 22 & 28 feet high. Trinity's Mast without the Gaffe Rig is Approximately 24 Feet. A Quick call to the Bridge Captain and He happily raised the bridge. If you were on Rt 35 this morning - sorry!
RT. 35 Draw Bridge at low tide
Very Easy Boat to Sail - Very Forgiving to This Novice! Many adjustments, but well worth learning her language.
When Trinity is at Full Sail - Both Jib (Front) sail and Main Sail are taking full wind, she glides through the water - she moves when she pleases. When she does move it is with a lot of purpose and direction. She has a life in the water and she is going to live it.
A View of Trinity that does not get old - she is easily managed from the tiller.
Perth Amboy and then to Princess Bay, just off of
the Southern Tip of Staten Island
