testing out two head sails on the delivery

The delivery team from Gulf Steam looks like they had some fun on the two day trip from Sainte Marine to La Rochelle. The Pogo 36 has a hull speed of 8.06 knots (1.34 x 36^.5) and it they had it up to 9.3 knots through the water. Add in a little current and the speed over ground was 10.7 knots. Looks like I’m going to have to recalculate some of my travel times. I’ve been planning some trips around the Chesapeake and using 6 knots

So now that I made the final payment to Sevenstar, the boat should get loaded sometime between March 25th to April 10th. Once the delivery starts, I’ll be tracking the ship via AIS and counting down the days until it arrives in Baltimore

A big thanks to the Juliens at Gulf Stream for the sea trails and the delivery.
