Shorthanded training at Holmsbu 2011

Holmsbu shorthanded training

The Holmsbu 2011 training was great this year - incredible weather and ok winds gave good training on the water both days. An incredible five (!) Elan 350s on the water this time - Silverminken was the lowest rated boat there (apart from a Jeanneau SO 35) - closest contenders were a Dufour 34, Pogo 8.50.

Happy sailors.

 Here's Silverminken on port heading into the the starboard boats right after the start of the second race.

 Here's a pic right after hoisting the spinnaker and before dowsing the jib.

Here's Silverminken racing against the Dufour 34.


I'll see if I can get a video posted as soon as possible - just need to get a rough edit done.

Shorthanded training in Holmsbu

We were at Holmsbu this weekend for the annual training session for shorthanded sailors. Great event, although the first day culminated with a 30 knot headwind. Got the sails down with no damage in the nick of time. Phew.

Here's a short video of Silverminken sailing in the beautiful weather the next day....
