The big event for December was the launch of Stephen's lovely SCAMP "Snug" #667. It was a grand sight, to see two SCAMP transoms side by side in the ramp carpark.
Shakedown sails and sea trials are underway. There is always a bit of debugging and adjusting and learning required after launching a new boat. First launch at the Warmies, with two other TN25 raid boats, Lugger and Pitthirrit.
It is nice to have another SCAMP to sail with. I am relieved to see Anjevi performs OK by comparison. I was worried that my relatively rough finish might have a negative impact on performance.
Subsequent Snug launches have been from Werribee River, which works better for Stephen and Chris. Some nice sailing along the coast there. Peter came in Pitthirrit and took what I think these might be the first pictures of two SCAMPs sailing on Port Phillip

Some nice rafting up apres sail at a mooring up the river as well.
Christmas is looming, and Jeppe and family are staying with us so a switch of gear for a while I suspect. And lots of house and garden maintenance to catch up on. But a nice sailing month to round out a good year.
I sailed Anjevi on 35 days since launching in Feb, and sailed well over 250 nautical miles with her, and enjoyed every minute! I am very pleased with that little boat.
