The Vagabond chills out on the Beach.
I had a day with my girls and we stopped down at Seaford beach. Luckily for me I had my Hacker Vagabond in the back of the car from yesterday (really ??). With a SW wind and the tide low the shingle bank beach and the use of a sea wall proved to be a good source of lift. Here's a bit of video.
The Libelle's would have had no trouble and a little more wind you could have soared something a little bigger. Hopefully we can all have a day out on the beach again soon ! Maybe a BBQ and a few hours cruising the beach. Let me know if beach soaring is of Interest to you?
