Illusion was launched with due ceremony into the River Hamble today. Graham Neil did his 'I'm Scottish and I cannae watch good whisky dribble into the water' act.
She rowed better than I expected, but without a rudder she can spin easily when my rowing is unbalanced. This is to be expected for a flat bottomed boat without a rudder.
It was a glorious day, good weather, great company and a very enjoyable lunch at the Jolly Sailor pub.
As you can see there is plenty of work remaining. I wanted to prove she could be rowed and test out the hull as soon as possible.
