Should Have Been Sooner

It's been a while since posting anything here but with the Langkawi trip, trying to sort things out upon our return, business going crazy and having to organise our wedding unfortunately something had to give.

Anyway, the trip to Langkawi went superbly well, it took 3.5 days to get there and 3 days to get back, probably the worst part was getting fishing nets stuck on the prop whilst both going and coming back.

We learnt that we must get a spinnaker at the earliest opportunity which will be before we take part in any more regattas as we were certainly competitive going upwind in Langkawi but not downwind.

We had a failure on the aft aircon pump so this will be replaced under warranty from Elan (or at least it better had but they do seem rather quiet).

A full write-up of the regatta is being done and we'll dump it here once done but here's a photo.
