PERFORMANCE

8/10


Made with cast offs from bonfire night, maybe used on the beach, but found in the high water mark so I have decided they’re allowable. Not the prettiest vessel, and not as ridgidly built as others. Eventually launched over the border in Edinburgh, at Portobello beach. Cast off into the cruiser yacht equivalent size of 8 metre high breakers. G’Day powered her way through, the flexiability of it’s construction helping it to absorb the blows. With no keel and flimsy build I was pleasantly surprised.
