Now in water for a couple of months. Replacing steering cables, good tensioning and lubricating around pulleys has hugely improved steering and removed the backlash. Ra Gallivanter

  • Thanks Achillea .I am just replacing steering cables so I will be lubricating everything which maybe will help. I like the idea of a bit bigger diameter pulleys. That's a bit too much now as I have 1 week to get in the water so maybe next year.

  • Eventually reached Brighton Marina before returning to Falmouth mid August. Four days return plus stops for sightseeing Yarmouth and Weymouth. Had a delightful 25 minute visit from  pod of 6 dolphins mid Lyme bay. My daughter lay on fore deck to touch fins of 5 dolphins packed shoulder to shoulder between our bows. Dartmouth to Falmouth was only real day's sailing in whole trip with spinnaker set from Plymouth.
    Quite sailed out at present but happy to meet any visitors.

    Whoever goes West has to go East to get home. Catch you on the way back.
