New Sloop being launched.

The first of it's kind built by the man in the back Franky Bethel. He quoted " it's time to get rid of the old model vessels and in with the more trimmed sloops as the Americans do". We at Windward pride ourselves with the art of boat building handed down by our Scottish descents which were used as cargo boats and fishing vessels. But as time passed much sails have vanished and only the regatta and few individuals with money can keep this tradition alive.
