1st Sail of the Season - 2009

We made it out for our first shakedown sail on Sunday. It was a beautiful sunny day. Winds were 8-9 kts and the water was flat. We wanted to get out to try out our new genoa sail. It was made by Quantum Sails here in Toronto and is performance cruising sail. Racing fibre on one side and tafeta on the other. Everything went well. All the rigging looked to be in the right spots and all our electronics performed well. There wasn't a whole lot of wind, but it was enough to move us along 7 1/2 kts on a beam reach. We caught up with our friends on Cassis who left the dock shortly after us. We sailed for about 2 hours towards the Oakville border then turned around and headed back.
