Both Ben and Myself went out for sail on our newer mossies today. Ben on Top Gun and Myself on Jive (used to be Smik).
Perfect weather for a testing day a little bit of wind and a little chop.
Ben had Top gun cranking from the word go (even if he's battens went tied in properly). Once he tighten the battens on properly he went out again. The second time he went out it was blowing a bit more and he had Top Gun exceptionally well for his first time out.
On the other hand Myself and jive(used to be smik) took it alot more calmly as I was hesitant on pushing her incase I put a foot through the hull. The times I did push her she went surprisingly well. Down wind she had alot of pace and upwind was alot of hard work.
I compared jive to Top Gun and we were both pointing the same but with Ben's uk sail there was no catching him. I think Im going to have to change my sail to get the speed out of her.
Now that I have sailed her I know that I have to set her up and tune her to get her going to her full potential.
Very enjoyable day was had by myself, Ben and Bandit on a 16sq.

We are hoping to get back out for another sail before the brass monkey and Im hoping to organise another 1 or 2 mossies to come out with us.

Cheers
