Rutland Water, 13 November 2021



This was the final sail of 2021.  Not a particularly successful one, since a good hour was wasted whilst I discovered an issue with the rear rollers, all associated with the boat never recovering centrally.   This was preventing me from easily launching without submerging the whole trailer.  The keel band was rubbing against the rollers and the associated friction was stopping the boat from sliding off the trailer.  It became apparent that the rear cradle needed some adjustments - something I have managed to resolve since.  
Anyhow, once launched, a delightful if rather short swansong to the season.
