Difficult SAILING conditions - VARIABLE WINDS (EP. 21)

So we finally finish off the boat work, but not after finding something else wrong and then get to go out for a sail at last, which was a touch sporty and kept me on my toes own the river.
Figuring out how to deal with 10kts on minute, 22kts the next, 14kts 30 seconds later.. it’s difficult to set the sails and on top the changes in direction to match.
Unfortunately we lost a lot of footage and combining that with my impatience in filming boat works this has made for a very bitty episode..
I will try to do better next time.
We are planning a little trip away so will hopefully have an adventure and some cooking to share!
Thank you for watching... and sticking with us.

Excellent video. I have a moody 30. Great boat. Can i ask where did you get the full cockpit cover? Or do you know the make? Thanks

Thank you. 🙏
I am not to sure as it came with the boat. I think it was done by dolphin sails as that’s the name on the spray hood but may have been someone else.
We need to replace it as it’s seen better days but will use for a template for a new one.
It’s all held by one arch bar which is simple and zips to the spray hood.
Let me know if there’s anything else you need to know 👍
