Launched the boat, carried out buoyancy test. Port tank took on 6 ins of water. Starboard 2inches. Front tank 2 inches. Aft tank 1 inch. Need to sort out why. Tried to use the self bailers but they didnt work. Used the pumps instead. The bailers are still leaking badly. Discovered sticking a buoy on the top of the mast stops the boat turning turtle.

Broke the mast raiser on returning.
