Description

Roland Beverley from the UK maiden sails his 3D printed Racing Sparrow on a local lake. The first of its kind in the UK. Legend has it that... she got stuck on something!  She was further downwind than I had gone before and nearly in the middle of the lake.  There seemed to be an old rope down there, probably for mooring pedallos.  Some helpful people suggested I should get in.....  I waited for a bit hoping the wind would change and she would free herself, and just as I'd gone to find a stick to tie a line to (might not have worked at that range, but better than getting in to the water and slimy mud), shouts from the other bank told me she had freed herself!  I grabbed the TX and took control as she merrily glided across the lake and brought her back.  Not wanting to push my luck, I went home.
