Brigantia has been sold


Brigantia has been sold!

After giving us three years of fun and joy and looking after her novice crew, Brigantia went to pastures new in the Autumn of 2013. This blog remains as an archive of our activities on board.

Them winds are back again

Hmmm! The forecast for the weekend is once again looking a tads breezy. F4 gusting 5 or 6 from the North East might not scare off the big boys but for a bunch of novices on a little boat it's pushing the limits.

Looks like it's going to be a weekend focussed on maintenance with any sailing being a bonus and confined to messing about on the local river. I'd probably be considering postponing if we hadn't already postponed the trip from last week!

If we can get that topping lift sorted out and the spreader boots on, this might be an opportunity to start sorting out some of the safety drills - MoB, Fire, etc. It's something we really ought to do anyway and could add some interest to the excercise
