Happy New Year!
Some time ago, a group of German sailors asked if they could come and have a look at FanShi and take a video of her. Knowing that there are those who seem to prefer watching a video to reading words and looking at photos, I went along with it. The original video was incredibly long and, to my mind, somewhat tedious, but a friend has arranged for it to be edited to a more manageable length. If you are interested, you can watch it here:

I am hoping to launch in the middle of the month. With any luck there will be somebody there to capture this on video, too.
Thanks! And happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteAnnie It’s been great following the build, all the very best for the launch and looking forward to seeing you on the water..Mahurangi for Regatta day perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI have just watched a video clip of Fanshi sailing along in light airs. She looks beautiful. Love the colours and the sail is distinctive. Congratulations. What a marvellous achievement. I am in awe!! John
ReplyDeleteAnnie- looks like you did a wonderful job on the boat. I commented on the post, but figured I'd say something here. Your boat building, Birdsmouth mast building friend from Texas
ReplyDeleteHi Paul
ReplyDeleteI had considered Mahurangi, but in the end decided I'd prefer to have some peace and quiet rather than to take my new boat into a great crowd of other yachts, when I still don't really know how to sail her! Maybe next year. I plan to be down round Kawau in early March. Maybe we'll cross tacks then.
