I sail from the Isle of Man south to Ireland, and then onto 4 ports in Wales as I continue my journey toward home in France. I question the roll/yaw stability of my boat compared to more classic designs with a full keel; I try to develop a strategy for how often to tack (long legs, or short legs); and I transit a lock in Milford Haven Wales. I film 4 dockings.

Fastnet 2025 on 82 ft Sailboat (Pt 2)
It's a bit of a champagne cruise on the return leg from Fastnet Rock to the finish line in Cherbourg, France --- all downwind in +/- 15 kts. As a precaution for the new crew, we did not fly the asym spinnaker at night, but still finished a respectable 80th of the 400 or so boats participating...
