New 46.1 Test Sail

On Saturday Sept. 8th I scored a 2 hour test sail on the new Beneteau 46.1 in Newport RI. Beautiful boat which sailed and handled very well in the 12 knots of wind that morning. Video located here
Off the starboard side was the new 51.1 which we out sailed the whole time. Then we had a crossing with the 12m Weatherly also captured in the video. What a hoot!

Hope you enjoy the video as much as I have.

Fun video! That Weatherly is something else.

Boat shopping is more fun that working on boats! I've been working on mine all summer. We head south in less than two weeks.
