First sail on Shuttlecock! Very different than T2. I was under the smallest stay sail I have, as it's the only one with sheets. (They're too short btw.) The storm jib is so small, it's actually sheeted on the inside of the shrouds.

I have to say, it's pretty nice having a rolling furler. I don't miss having to haul the sails up on deck and then hank them on each time I went for a sail.

I have yet to buy a new main sheet purchase point for the boom above the new traveller I installed. Then I'll need a slightly longer control line for the traveller and I'll really be ready to sail. After that it's new sheets for the larger stay sails and rigging the spinnaker.

I don't have a Navionics track to share because I forgot to start my route. I'm out of practice.

All in all, a great first sail. Can't wait to go out again!
