An Exhilarating First Sail With Another Drascombe Lugger

What a great day for a sail. 16mph gusting to 20-25mph Northerly, but it made for a fantastic sail. The day starts off with a lost shackle on the main sheet block, so we head home to replace that. We meet up and then sail with one of the other Luggers at Bala. We sailed under all 3 sails until it just got a bit too lairy for a first sail, so we follow suit and sail under Jib and Mizzen, anchoring in the North end lake shallows for a spot of lunch. We set off again and do some circuits and end the day sailing into the shore. I was truly bushwhacked after today!! Loved it and all the sailing spider senses are back alive again after this!!!
