The conditions for the second trials were just right this morning, the water was flat calm and clear so I could see the weed that was a problem on the first trial was not so close to the surface as it was, she sat nicely in the water with no sign of the roll that it had so the extra 200 grams ballast was the answer, and handling was much better, good turning circle with hardly any lean out, a good turn of speed for the type of ship she cuts through the water with a nice bow wave, and unlike Solebay she also has some steerage going astern I guess because she is shorter with the same size rudder, in conclusion I'm very happy with Bramble's performance. Right what's next ?
