NY48 CHINOOK

Sorry for the erratic posts this week, I have been busy with Rowdy and various other jobs. I also haven't received many photos from the yard this week so there hasn't been much of interest to post. That said, Sandra and I are flying to Tunisia this afternoon and next week promises to be a period rich in news and photos.
The photo is of Rowdy taken in Nice in 2008 by Michel Bourdin. Her extra weight and hull strength really allows her to carry the marconi rig and get the full benefit from it and it may surprise you to learn that our top speed with Rowdy under spinnaker was 16 knots! She will do more in the right conditions, the only limitations being the steering and the crew.

Jono.
