Next regatta....

It's been a while since the last post ... a lot of stuff going on at the moment, but now we are getting closer to the focus of the season, the Watski Twostar 2011 regatta! I'll post more on that next week, but this weekend we are sailing Silverminken in the "Færderseilasen" regatta ,which is the worlds largest overnight regatta.

We don't really have high expectations for this regatta, since we will only be three people on board, and haven't sailed together before, so it will mostly be to get some more hours in the boat. But the regatta is always a great social event with great competition. We have entered Silverminken in the highly competitive LYS Racing 33 class, which will probably be a bit more than we can handle. :)

We also talked to another Elan 310 owner and got them to start in the same class - the Elan 310 "Sagitta" that Tom owns. It will be fun to see if we can get some tight racing!

 There is a GPS tracking for the regatta here:

Summary Færderseilasen 2010

We entered Silverminken for the worlds largest overnight regatta - Færderseilasen. We knew it would be difficult to get a team together, since we have only been focusing on shorthanded so far. Also, there was a long list of things to get done in order for her to be race-ready in time. Miraculously we  got most of the stuff done, but my heavy-weather jib wasn't ready. Unfortunately, we would have had use for it....
