Here's a shot of Silverminken en route to the 2012 Oscarsborg Elan training session, where the Norwegian Elan distributor invites Elan owners to practice sailing before the season starts.
This year we have distinguished guests, top Elan executives are here with us to sail, in addition to several experts.
The setup is like this:
* Several small groups of similar boats
* One boat in each group takes turns being the "leader"
* The leader sails upwind with a constant/stable trim
* The other boats in the group attempt to trim to beat the leader
* Sail upwind for about 15 minutes, then return to start
* Repeat, changing leaders
Sounds like a good routine, so I am looking forward to getting the season started!
Directly after this training session (and at the same location) the Norwegian Shorthanded Sailing club is having their annual two-day training session for shorthanded sailors, so this weekend is packed with training! Cool!

Hei Thomas!
Alt vel?
Vi kan ikke se at du har meldt deg på Færder´n ennå, men regner med at du stiller? Vi har foreløpig meldt oss på i LYS 1.20-1.21. Det hadde vært morsomt å stille i samme klasse. Foreløpig ser det ikke ut til at vi kan være med i Oslofjorden rundt, men vi skal være med i Bundefjorden rundt 19. mai. Det hadde vært morsomt å se deg på startlinjen!
Vi sees på fjorden snart!
Hilsen Harald og Tore (Sagitta V)
Heisann, og takk for meldingen!
Jeg stiller nok opp i Færdern, men er ikke sikker på klasse etc enda. Mye lobbyvirksomhet for å få meg med i shorthandedklassen, men vi får se!
