With winter approaching fast, Karisma’s season is definitely over. We took the sails off on Sunday (any excuse for lunch at Penarth Yacht Club), and today she came out of the water. She’ll only be out for a week- to have her hull cleaned and antifouled, her sail drive serviced, and a cockpit chart plotter fitted- but her engine will be winterised and she will be out of commission until around February time.
