After a period of four long months we finally put the boat back where it belongs; in the water. Saturday was spent transporting the boat from Zierikzee to Scheveningen and lifting the boat in the water. We were rigging until it was pitch dark and went home to return on Sunday.

Sunday morning we finished the most essential parts and tuned the mast, ready for a test sail. At noon John Joosse and Arnold Stroo arrived to experience the M30. After two up and downwind runs we returned to the harbour at four o'clock.

With some small adjustments the boat is now ready for the second IJspegel regatta next weekend.
