Good morning Alessandro, The electrics have been currently left out to dry on top of a radiator for the past 17 hrs ๐. Will hopefully test them out tonight or tomorrow evening after work . A friend of mine from the club has offered to 3d print the submersible etc that was lost, so hopefully I'll be back up and sailing soon. ๐

Good evening everyone, not been able to do much or contribute recently due to work and home. However, plus side is I was able to get to the lake this morning for a bit of sailing. Was hoping to take my 2 into1for it's first sailing. Unfortunately I lost the prop whilst testing again at home so a no show there. So went to the lake,sailed the Osprey for a while and then took the Calypso out again. Was hoping to take some photos but had a "slight disaster". Coming back to the ramp she suddenly developed a list/ I think a combination of wind ๐ฌ๏ธ and waves. Rescue craft reached her just as she slipped beneath the surface. ๐ญ๐ญ. Thankfully Russ with waders managed to locate her and apart from the rear access hatch which has the submersible on it and disappeared the rest of her has been salvaged. Now all electronics are currently out and drying on the radiator. Back to the shipyard โน๏ธ. On reflection, when she was slipping beneath the surface, it looked like the real Calypso after she'd been hit, however I was a tad busy at the time trying to prevent the inevitable. Watch this space ๐
