 The latest shots of Serenity at home.  This is the North side of a jetty facing west.  The bad weather, when it comes, comes from the north and pushes us against the jetty.  Wind pressure on the spars creates quite a lean.  One week after this photo was taken a storm blew in from the north with gusts up to 50kts.  Ripped off about 6m of the port cap rail.  Oh well, it is a B.O.A.T.
You can see the new bimini cover.  It starts about 400mm forward of the mizzen mast.  Large zippered panel gives access to the mizzen boom.  Two panels aft can be folded back when we set the mizzen.  That storm didn't even flap the canvas.
