Sails untwisted and wrapped...

There were a few anxious moments on 21st June 2020 when unwrapping the sails again but everything cleared with only one bridle line needing unhooking and resetting. On completion of the flight on 21st June a careful wrap was undertaken so that the next set-up should be straightforward.
