With son Andrew's help got Fleur launched and moved to new permanent mooring at Helensburgh Sailing Club.
One lesson for next year is that it is best to leave the two spacer brackets in place connected to the bolt holding the forestay in place.
Had cleaned up the log wheel and made sure that it was spinning well before I went into the water but still not working - could be a wiring problem.
Had a great sail at an average of 7 knots! Peaked at 9 knots over the ground, helped by a strong ebb down the river. Took an hour and a half, rather than the expected three hours!
Would never have had the boat nearly so ready if it hadn't been for Frank helping get the anti-fouling on and Claire and Christine helping me to get sails rigged etc. the night before launch.
