Summer Sailing Coming up in Southern Hemisphere (New Zealand) with my Duo 480 Jigsaw


 

Hi all, I have been cleaning the dust off my Duo 480 Jigsaw and getting it all tidied up for summer. I have just been down to get the trailer re licensed and certified for legal road use. I am hoping to get a lot more?sailing done this summer compared to the last couple of years. It is amazing how 3 months of lockdown motivates you. In the photo you can see I removed the masts while I was at the vehicle testing centre. I have a home made mast holder at the back that fits over the rear crossbeam which was removed temporarily too. But the twin masts are easy to manage and dont stick far over the front of the trailer like a single mast does . All in all this boat is an easy to manage unit both on and off the water. More photos and videos are on my photo files on this site, and I made a building blog during construction, but I just thought it would be good to remind prospective builders what a nice boat the Duo 480 is. Of course there are several great designs of Bernd's in this smaller size range so something to suit everyone.


Happy Christmas everyone
Bryan


 

Hi Brian
?
I wish you many beautiful regattas and enjoy the summer ;-)
Bad lockdown, here in Italy we have had some bad times. Now, thanks to vaccination, 85% of the population seems to be holding on.
We hope well for this Christmas.
Good wind


 

Hi Brian

Good to hear that you get the boat out of the "mothballs".
Have nice sails with your DUO 480 and a happy Christmas

Bernd?
