I got to go out on Jay’s Jenneau 43 “Walkabout” today.. What a sweet boat!!
We had about 2 1/2 foot swells with 8 to 12 kts of wind and she pretty much sailed half to a little better than half of apparent wind speed through that range. Walkabout is probably one of the largest sailboats I’ve sailed on to date and the motion is quite a bit different. A much slower motion. Though I didn’t get green, I could feel the potential for it early on in the day. After a while I shook it and felt fine though.
I felt mostly useless on the boat. Jay has her setup to single hand and he did a lot of the sail tweeking himself just because it was easier for him to do it. Kinda weird being a non working passenger 🙂
I really enjoyed meeting Sandy, Brian and Scotty also. Nice sailing company 🙂
So here are a few pictures from the day..
I had fun taking these two pictures. 🙂 got to lean out over the water on the first one.
