Mill Creek 16.5 Trimaran

First outing on Whiteadder reservoir. If I seem to be sailing a little incompetently, it's because the rudder was coming adrift. The stainless rudder fitting is about the only part of this boat I didn't make myself, and it's the first part to break.

Thank you!

Actually, it feels a bit like that, the first time you take a home-made boat out on the water.

FJChild eh? Love your book of ballads.

It is a lovely thing and you have every right to be pleased with yourself for building it.

Also it doesn't look too incompetently sailed, better than I could do.

Very most impressive! Stayed entirely on top of the water, came about (I suppose) and got back to its landing place. Really nice. Good-looking, too. Please pat self on back for me.

Only thing curious - for most of the sound track I kept expecting it to be demasted by chain shot or eaten by a Great White.
