So after looking at Ruby we thought it would be good to test one out make sure it sailed well and we liked the experieince, Also a huge consideration was Shackle, out black lab who is still young and has been on a yacht and a canoe and seems ok but has never been dinghy sailing.

We headed up to Ulswater where the sailing school there has a fleet of these boats and probably know more about sailing them than anyone.

It was a blustery day and a reef was required to keep our nerves and the dogs and we loved it. We definately needed more height on the boat as my legs got cramped and the modern hull shape would give it to us.
