First Sail!

On a beautiful Monday afternoon, with breeze of 15 to 20 knots. Christeen took her first sail since her major repair. Shiprwirghts, volunteers and Christeen's mainstay captain were all able to enjoy the ideal conditions. They took it easy on the old girl by putting in a reef, with a full season ahead it's nice to cut her a few breaks every once and a while, as she would have had no problem handling these conditions under full sail.

Breeze on!


Off we go, it's going to be a great season!
