Finally on the Trolley
Unable to source reasonably priced Sitka Spruce, I purchased a used Mk1 Cormorant mast from the classifieds and set about reshaping to somewhere near the Morbic dimensions.
It came in at around 7kg when finished.
Launch Day Arrives
Without great fanfare, or big audience, an impulsive 1st launch took place, the weather was nice and calm and reasonably warm for late October, so the opportunity was taken. The wind picked up a little later and we were able to give it a good test, it was quick to set up, sailed beautifully, and more stable than I was expecting, all attributes that I was hoping for, and the inspiration for making it. So luckily, worth all the effort.
