Testing sail combinations while visiting the channel islands

With storms Eunice and Franklin blowing over south UK, we had to adapt our plans and to choose our destinations carefully. We particularly enjoyed our passages from Lézardrieux (Brittany) to Guernsey and back from Jersey to Le Légué (St Brieuc). We had the opportunity to test various sail combinations, including the asymmetric spy. There was a lot of wind and motion on the boat. Thanks to pills, Silvia avoided sea sickness. Yan managed to bake croissants for breakfast while close hauled and healing 30 to 40 degrees. After waking up at 4am that morning, these pastries just tasted delicious. In this video, we share some impressions from this passages. In conclusion, we are very satisfied with the boat’s comfort and sailing performances.
