Launched






AUS 31 hit the water this afternoon, for a quick 30 minute sail. Initial impressions are that it is a lively hull that slices through the water nicely, but I will report more on this next weekend in its first race. Today was just about proving that it works, and seeing any things that need to be changed prior to racing.
Things to do:
  • Add bung plug to seat - despite some mods it still leaks
  • Fit toe straps (and attach jib sheet to centre of fwd strap)
  • neaten up boom slider fittings (currently functional but not pretty)
  • Order new sails - the AUS18 sails work for trials but a new set is needed
  • Fair and paint (after Easter)
