Tormentina all geared up for a bike ride with James in the sometimes cold, windy, wet weather that is winter in Freo.

extreme sails & equiplite soft sailhanks


Upcoming passages:

FREMANTLE to HOBART via the Great Australian Bight
HOBART to WELLINGTON via Tasman Sea & Cook Strait

The sails are at Extreme Sails, South Fremantle, in the hands of David White and Carl Girolamo.  Equiplite soft sailhanks are going on the Tormentina (storm jib).  Thanks to Reinier Persenaire and Lourens Poorter at Equiplite Europe.

The kids had their sail-making pre-school today at Extreme, as they helped David update our storm jib with the new hanks.
