Spinnaker up for the first time

Included in the purchase of the boat were two spinnakers or gennakers. We didn't have much of a clue about setting them or sailing with one, but last Sunday in perfect high pressure, gentle wind conditions, and with a friend called Marcus, we gave it a try.

Here, Imogen and Marcus are applying "intuitive logic" (i.e. guesswork) to getting the spinnaker pole ready for the extra sail.

The sail goes up and looks great!

Thanks, Marcus!
