We launched La Girafe in Ardrossan on 10th April; the mast and sails were on and the rig re-tuned by the end of the week. A ‘shake down cruise’ to Tarbert and Brodick Bay over a glorious Easter weekend and then training for Fettes College in preparation for the Scottish Islands 3 Peaks Race. We also got to try out the new asymmetric spinnaker built for us over the winter by Owen Sails. A vibrant pink that works really well with La Girafe’s grey hull (my opinion!), she really smokes along with it up
