It has been an eventful few days.
The builders have been working through their lists of things to finish.
The sails have been coming back from the sail makers with the FOE logo on them.
The measurer has arranged the facilities for the righting test.
The B&G electronics guy has been installing the pilot system and the electronics.
People have been coming down to the boat after reading the article in the press.

But when we opened up the genoa we found that it was not the correct shape and they had not attached the luff zipper to go round the
forestay furler. This means a delay in getting the genoa sail on the boat which means we can't take her out for a sail.

So we still have not been out on the open water yet.

Hopefully get out on Wednesday with the builder and the riggers on board to check over things.

- what the hell does this mean?

What is a luff zipper and the to
forestay furler?

These terms may come in very handy for finishing a crossword one day so it's important I know what they are.
