Building Pilot Cutter Amelie Rose: Seatrials - Beginning of May 2009

So here we are, the final chapter! After the emotion of the launch we came to earth with a bump and started work on commissioning all of her systems. On the Sunday, with the engine working and sails bent on we were off down the Helford to escape Gweek's shallow water before we were neaped and so it was that the seatrials took place from Falmouth.

 

An incredible journey. A journey that continues now as Amelie Rose heads out to make new friends and discover new places, every day different, every day a new adventure.

Amelie Rose breezes past the chase boat - the sound of her passing was incredible, 23 tons of water shouldered brusquely aside as she powers past. We relax on deck - as Jonny the rigger takes Amelie Rose for a spin Amelie Rose gets the bit between her teeth
