Sea trials.

 We set of on the high tide at 8.00 am with Stephane as the training skipper. He is below on the right.

The day was a series of exercises that were a series of training exercises which included using all the major system on board. 

In between these exercises we took some time off to relax. The Captain tried out the bow area and gave this area a big thumbs up.

Whilst we were out we witnessed the most amazing site of the world 505 champs. Hundreds of dingy s out taking part in the regatta.

These plus literally hundred of other yachts out sailing in the bay require one to remain vigilant at all times.

Finally at about 8.30pm the tide was right to come back in to port, La Rochelle tower guards the port.
