2009-10-12 - Final sail of 2009 in Poole Bay

The boat came out of the water on the 16th October, so this was the final sail of 2009.

We sailed out passed Old Harry Rocks with the wind increasing from 15mph to about 20mph. Going out we put a reef in the Genoa and you can see my Dad putting a reef in the mainsail. We sailed a little way towards Durleston Head pounding through the wind-against-tide waves. Then we returned as the wind increased to 25mph gusting around 30-35mph. All fun!

The battery on the camera ran out as we were sailing back towards Sandbanks so I'm afraid the video ends prematurely!

Sorry about all the wind noise, but it was windy!
