'Leaf of Bristol' out for a sail!

Here's a pic. of Leaf of Bristol out for a sail in Bristol docks. Despite her long keel and 5 ton displacement, her junk rig is so handy that she's easily managed within the confines of the harbour - great fun!

'Leaf of Bristol' launched!

The 25' ocean going yacht we've been building (previously known as Cubbage Wood) has been successfully launched in Bristol's Historic floating harbour. A good crowd was there for the naming party - her owner Tim Start, kept the name a secret until the very last moment, and the Bristol Ambling Band  were the perfect accompaniment to a very jolly day.

We are thrilled with her performance, both under sail and with her solar electric auxiliary. Best wishes to Tim and Louise, may they have many happy voyages in the 'Leaf'!
