Elan 310 number three on its way to Norway

Last week we had another testsail on Silverminken, and this time it actually led to ordering the third 310 to Norway. Cool!

Here is a short clip from that day....great weather, nice conditions in the Oslofjord.

Sorry about the low quality, didn't have time to make the HD version.

Testsailing the chute!

Another testsail, this time with shorthanded expert and distributor Tor. Excellent testing conditions - not too much wind, but enough to get the smiles out with the chute up!

More from the test

First of all I would like to say that these are my own, personal, subjective views more than a scientifical and objective review. I am, after all, a bit biased.

The sample we were sailing was an early build, one of the first ones, and as such there were some minor issues. The shelves were not removed on this boat, and the locks did not all fit snugly, but this is something the later production boats have corrected. Anyways, the locks are adjustable so this is nothing to worry about.

Yet another testsail video

In two parts....

Tangosailing testsail video

The Tangosailing guys created a video of their testsail of the 310. Cool. The wheel construction is not something I like, though. Maybe its a matter of taste, but that option is not for me. :)

Swedish test drive

The guys at Tangosailing have a short review of their testsail on the 310, with some images there too. Check it out.
