We took Nyatne, our Core Sound 17 Mk3, down to the Gippsland Lakes for a long weekend of sailing. The Wooden Boat Association had scheduled a weekend away, but the weather wasn't looking good for Sunday, so we went down early and got in some brilliant sailing in warm and dry conditions before joining with other WBA members for an excellent day on the water on Saturday. The boat in the foreground here is a new CS17 Mk1, built by Jim Stockton, another WBA member.
