I was out with the squad on 'Yeoman of Wight', which has been kindly loaned to the BKA by David Aisher.
On Saturday, we spent the morning hoisting & dropping sails up and down Southampton Water. This was not to keep us warm in the December air, but so that Jeremy from North Sails could help us decide what will be best to replace in the New Year.
After stopping for lunch for the usual (ham & cheese sandwiches), we focused on the mechanics of some manoeuvres, taking some good videos until it started to get dark. Sunday saw some more practice for the crew in slightly less breeze, while I put together our sponsorship proposal for next season.
