Genral

Post by vfborg »

Took my Investigator out for the first time under sail went so good im impressed with the way it sailed didn't have a lot of wind but enough to keep me going forward against the tide . Sailed from the Urangan harbor to the Artie near Fraser island and back again. Being the first time sailing a boat of this size i thought i did ok i only sailed a caper cat before and my radio control sail boats which i have 3 of them the biggest being 6ft long might be time to sell them now i can sail the real thing.

The 563 is an easy boat to sail we've found, which is good to inspire confidence when we were starting out. Good luck and enjoy yourself.
