Sailing With A Donated Rig

Went down to the sailing club yesterday with my friend Richard.

Arrived to find a set of spars next to the punt in the boat park. When I took the tarp off, there was a black bin liner with a sail in it too. Result!!

There were a few bits missing from the rig (not all the lines were there), but I still managed to lash it all together well enough to have a sail.

Despite the very light and sporadic wind, we managed to get a good couple of sails in, though mostly bobbing about becalmed.

Here's a couple of 'boom cam' clips showing the punt when the wind was actually blowing...
