The newest Elan 310 in Norway, "Kårstua", got second place in its class in this years Færderseilasen, which is one of the worlds largest overnight regattas. This is a great achievement and shows that the 310 is highly competitive raced well.
In addition to second place on handicap (the new NOR Rating/ORC Club offshore) the 310 was only 2 minutes behind the class winner (X 372 Prestige) in actual sailed time.
The results can be found here (Norwegian): http://www.færdern.com
Congratulations!
(And ofcourse congratulations to the class winner PopX, clever bastards. Hehe - the great Tormod which I was privileged enough to sail shorthanded with)
Our own results were mediocre - lost two (almost four) battens in the jib and had to find a temporary solution only four hours into the race. Also the jib fastening to deck broke soon after that, which also required a temporary solution that wouldn't allow decent tightening of the jib. So we couldn't really shape the sail as we wanted at all. But we still finished the race, and were happy that we didn't give up. :)
Both problems were due to poor race preparation on my account. Sigh. :)

Hi,
We are also sailing on Elan 310 and I was wondering if you had with you the polars into an xls or csv file?
This to be entered into Weather 4D PRO in order to draw route for the next Duo Max race. Marseille-Barcelone.
Cheers,
Eric
Hi Eric.
Cool that you are sailing the Duo Max!
I'm not as advanced as you, haven't gotten to real routing yet, so I don't have the polars fixed.
Maybe someone else can share their polars, if not you could always get the calculated ones from our ORC Club certificate? You can find us at orc.org, just search for Silverminken or maybe Kårstua or one of the other 310s with similar sail setup as yourself?
