Even this somewhat quiet autumn has brought a lot of visitors, and I am happy to say that we have now passed 56.000 hits on this blog. Which is really awesome, considering that it is a blog about sailing (not politics, religion or the credit crunch), and even more specific it is about ONE sailboat! Hehe!
The Norwegian distributor, Fjord Sail, is arranging two cool events next week, about "how to sail faster with your Elan sailboat". Maybe something other distributors (or owners) could get inspired to spread around the globe?
The agenda for the two afternoons is:
Day 1:
- Sailing close-hauled
- Beam reaching under genoa
- Basic sail trim
- Obtaining the right sailshape when trimming
- Choice of sails
Day 2:
- Spinnaker sailing
- Asymmetrics using the sprit and/or a pole
- Techniques for setting, dousing, gybing the spinnaker
- Trimming the spinnaker in different conditions
- Choice of sails
I'm really looking forward to it, and if I know the distributor (and I do), there will be videos and examples that I will link to from this blog so others can see what we have been through.
So I hope there are many of you that can keep on sailing through the winter, keep on sending updates for the less fortunate of us!
