Reading up

Mike e-mailed us the logs written by Robinetta’s original designer/owner about his first two seasons cruising out of Liverpool up to the Clyde, north through the Crinan canal, up to Skye, then back to Liverpool. After than she was laid up though the war, then sold to a friend, who sailed her down from Liverpool and round to a new home port of Weymouth, and also wrote up the log for publication. We therefore got a good picture of her sailing performance as designed. She was never fast, and is not desperately comfortable in heavy seas (no boat her size is going to be) but she sails well in light winds, and will go though rough seas and over falls with no signs of instability. I want to sail her!
