The dry season wind is definitely here!
Yesterday, some of the crew members took Legacy out for the first time in over 6 months to test our new carbon main sail and 140% jib. The crew was a little rusty and the wind was very strong. The peak wind speed yesterday was a whopping 28 knots! I'm sure she was very happy to be out doing what she was built for, as she performed well. We were clocking speeds of over 7 knots, in cruising mode.
Today, the 20 foot container was packed with sails and rigging, pots and pans, and anything we might need over in England for race week.
Legacy and her crew are charging forward to Cowes!

It's great to see Legacy back in the water and doing what she does best!!! Dougie would be ecstatic!!! Good luck on the other side of the "Pond".... May the winds be always at your back!!!
