Ep. 31 - GAFF RIG TRAILER SAILER CRUISER - THE WELSFORD PENGUIN
Ben and Mat sail Little Wing from Port Cygnet to ‘The Greatest Marina In The World’ located in Prince Of Wales Bay, just north of Hobart. A distance of 54nm travelled over two days (14:45hrs at the helm).
Mat cooks up some Butter Chicken and asks Ben to share his wisdom on big and little boats.
On day two the wind blows over 30kts and they are forced to make a few changes before something breaks…
A new custodian will take Little Wing’s helm soon. Will it be you?
