The return may be a bit more lively! She really is great in a rough open sea. Lovely, steady sailing. All of the stuff about her not being fit for service in the Irish Sea is just bollox written by keyboard warriors based on zero knowledge. The possible worry is berthing at either end, and as we don't yet have enough information about her normal operational limits, it's impossible to judge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
