Sails Off

Well as the gearbox is starting to become a pain, this week as per my insurance the rigging is being changed, and to make things a little easier I am having a Z Spar's mainsail track installed. I had a cleaning weekend and got her ready for the riggers knife! the main sail has also been sent off to have the alterations done and with luck all will be completed by the end of the month, all we need now is to decide what to do with the gearbox!!!

Celtic Spirits new home is now at Swanwick marina, the old Moody s yard. she will be here till mid winter when she is due to have some work done, our time at Deacons was nice and we made some new friends but it was not to productive on the sailing side.

Deacons

Well at last we have moved ! I think that Ancasta were more happy than me, but hey at sometime I was going to have to pay for moorings. So with the help of Mike, Cris and Colin we had a days sail up and down the solent and then back to our new mooring, so for the next month she will be at Deacons Yard at the top end of the Hamble.

The survey

Well today the small book covering as may derriere's as humanly possible arrived and what a read but I still love her and apart from a little scratch here and there she seems sound as a pound, well actual lots of pounds but that's boats for you. so with luck fourteen days or less she's all mine !

The Beginning

Well at last I have put my hand into my pocket and bought a new one! some time ago I related purchasing a Yacht as the same as having children, you know you only have another one when you have forgotten how painful the last one was, well White silk was then and Celtic Spirit is now.
She is a Jeanneau sun odyssey 37 twin cabin and at present she is lying at Hamble point marina but soon to move up to Swanwick for the winter, then back in the yard for some work prior to next summer
