Three wet sails

Three wet sails hanging in the workshop?
The club has bought a couple of RS Feva XL boats, hoping to get the Optimist kids interested in two-man boats as an alternative to the Splash/Laser 4.7 when their legs get longer.
I spent a part of Sunday reading the manual and getting one of the boats rigged, then convinced Martien - a Laser mum - to go home and get her drysuit. We spent an hour and a half flying round the lake, getting the hang of the 'super jib' and tacking downwind.
At about 125 kgs. we were at the heavy end of the boat's capacity but for a couple of kids or even a parent and child combination great fun in a fast, simple boat.
Well done to the Youth Sailing Comittee of the VWDTP for sticking your neck out and getting the boats.
[ ... and yes, the sails are wet because we did capsize on a three sail reach :) ]
