Hardly a whisper of wind

Nicky and I planned to sail Baby Dragon, but Nicky cancelled (very sensibly) having seen that there was hardly any wind forecast. I headed down to Harwood hoping for some wind and knowing that I needed to be there anyway for a committee meeting. Well there wasn't enough wind to bother to rig up and pack up again. So instead I spent a pleasant few hours socialising.

Hi Pam,

I am a new Farr 5000 sailer and am loving it! Mine is called "shades of grey", dodgy I know, but the name predates the books. So far I have just been out a handful of times around tasman bay. I have been really pleased with how the Farr handles reasonably rough weather and with how roomy it is!
Anyway, my reason for sending you a message is a question. What speed would you expect if you were motoring (I have a 5hp o/b) or sailing in perfect 10 to 15 knots? I just want a baseline for trip planning.

Love your blog by the way.

Thanks Pam
