After 3 years of work, new batteries, motor, oxidation problems, prop shaft and roller furling issues etc., ect..
We went sailing today!
Had the sails up ready to catch some wind.... um, well we had a little bit of wind anyway. Tried for about a hour, tacking back and forth there was just a slight breeze and it did propel the boat with the motor off. So YES! I would say we were finally able to sail Spirited Away - Woo Hoo.
I can't wait to get back out on the water and try again, soon.
OK - this is a photo from a 1983 Hunter Brochure - but since we did not take any pictures of Spirited Away with her sails up, I thought I would use this photo. Think of it line and 'artist's interpretation'... ; )
