20th of July. The first day after Berthon, on the Medina and the Solent.

July 21, 2023

Today we continued our preparation of Winsome. It was our intention to do some sailing in order to check our new sails G1 and G2 in our new Tuff-Luff 2206-59. For whatever reasons we did not sail out in the morning, when there was a suitable wind for this exercise, but only in the afternoon with some stronger wind. Nevertheless we did not damage anything and returned to our berth in East-Cowes Marina.

Richard Klabbers arrived after this excercise so now we are only missing Leen Hoogmoed, who will arrive Friday in Cowes.

In the meantime we picked up rumours that the start of this race will be postponed if the prediction of a 38 knots wind at the start, will become true.

We are already in good spirits, no matter if the race will be postponed or not.
