IdeesfixVIII first sail

Yesterday, Wednesday 08 October 2014 IdeesfixVIII sailed out for the first time from Emirates Palace Marina in Abu Dhabi.  Winds were 330 degrees at 12 kts, light waves and temperature of arround 35 degrees C.  It was a beautifull afternoon and sunset, James Hemingway made sure that all went smoothly.  The A2 was set up and we had a nice ride home.  Dropping the sails went well and all is good.

Here is the navigation trace, the middle one:

Mast setup

The mast needed adjusting.  Yesterday, under the outstanding supervision of James Hemingway and with the help of Dermot, Clive, Marlon, June and Raymond we got the mast setup correctly.  The picture above is of the old setup.  The expert professionalism of James go the job done in one morning and IdeesfixVIII is now ready to set sails.
