Sail's up

Last week's crew in rain gear.

 

This week we had the pleasure to have Bruce and Heather Halibisky aboard. Both were instrumental in the early years of constructing the Vérité and to send our first crew to the Atlantic Challenge.

 

Bruce who has sailed the oceans great in his own sailboat explained more aspects on how to sail a gig. Each time we learn more terms and practice the mechanics of sailing a dipping lug sail in easy winds.

 

 

 

 Here's the halyard line under tension. This is the knot we need to learn.

 

 

 

It was another wonderful day on the water!
