R21 Launch

Have finally got my R21 put in the water, unfortunately it has slight leak around the bung so will have to come out again at some point...

Just a couple of snaps, nothing of it running yet as motor isn't run in

Happy days, stupidly calm sea around Guernsey, Sark, Herm etc...


Out of interest, would anyone say it sits a bit low down at the back? I've got 2 sand bags just infront of the foot rest...
