Three days flying the kite




Recently we had our first spinnaker setting lesson from our friends Kerry and Diane who are travelling in their cat "Nemo". Since our lesson we've used it 3 days in a row and it has helped moved us about 150nm (280km). Its a beautiful looking sail !


The idea of putting it up seemed daunting at first, i knew it was a big sail and it required both of us to get it up but it really is simple to use and doesn't require half as much effort as i thought it might. 


Setting the spinnaker has been another great achievement for us on Ultimate Dream.
