Hi all, just a quick one to say that with the help of one of our long term supporters EKSPAN we have brought VESTAS Sailrocket 1 all the way from the Isle of Wight up to Sheffield in the middle of England.

She is now on display in The Blue Shed right in the heart of 'Steel country' www.globalmanufacturingfestival.com . 

If there is anyone up this way who wants to see her in the flesh then this is the time. Boats in general don't often go on display in these parts let alone the freaky ones like VSR1.

 Greetings all,

well one year ago today we were madly rushing around on the 'apron' of Venture Quays preparing VESTAS Sailrocket 2 for her first public unveiling and launch. Mother Nature delivered us a perfect day and for us it was a perfect day.

Well it's been a full old year in the world of the VESTAS Sailrocket program. This time last year I was using the quiet Xmas period in the build shed to get all the spray-painting of the wing out the way!

 I would rate today as a bad day in the speed sailing office.

It felt like there was simply no magic out there today and everything we did just seemed to make VSR2 go slower.
