Windraker Sailing

Format 400 Catamaran

Navigating around the islands

Outboard was fixed after watched someone who knew what he was doing and pulled another (sneaky hidden) nozzle from the carburetor. Now dinghy outboard blast full power, enough to get the fresh bread from the marina and demand breakfast from the crew😀
Started sailing in light winds from Veli Rat, we, as usual were only boat sailing but when wind picked up there were some boats we could compete with. We were up to 8 knots boat speed but when apparent wind (wind that you feel whilst moving) came up to 18 we put a reef in the main sail as responsible sailors do. Quite happy with the new jumper in top of the mast and the mast trim that is now also tested up to 20 knots. Whilst sailing we made potable water with deslination plant, it uses quite a bit of energy but with 20 Solar we actually gained energy. Quite happy with the new LiFePo4 that sucks up all energy produced. At the end of the day we found a mooring buoy at island (Otok) Molat and reside to have a home cooked meal on Windraker.
