For some reason I get many requests for the J/111 polars… It’s no secret that I think they are useful to get the most out of a boat. First as a a baseline for performance on a new boat and racing in handicap fleets. But also for routing purposes. And the J/111 have some pretty […]
[vc_column_text pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1/2″ el_position=”first”] Polars & Performance Below is a collection of polar diagram from various sources. Mostly in numerical format to easily plug into routing software. They’re published here just to play around with. For serious/real use you should get a real one for your specific boat.

How eager are you to do a 635 nm double-handed race just five days after you finish a rough Newport Bermuda Race? At first, not so much. But as everyone in the crew flew home, except Mattias Bodlund and me, it felt natural to return to execution mode: work lists, food planning, and weather analysis. […]
It all started with an email. I get lots of emails from new J/111 owners, and I’m always happy to help if I can. But this time, it was slightly different.

Peter Gustafson is the offshore sailor we should all want to be: competent, passionate, organized, thoughtful and ultimately successful. He does not campaign […]
Man funderar ju hela tiden över vad som hade varit en riktigt kul båt på 40-45 fot (man kan ju alltid fantisera). Gärna en där man kan vara först i mål före TP52 eller VO65 😃 MW40OF från Wilson-Marquinez i Buenos Aires är väl en jättebra designstudie på det temat. Initial VPP studies show reaching […]
Januari är en bra tid på året för att uppdatera sig på navigation och olika program. Precis som med allt annat är det bra om man kan hålla igång även under lågsäsong. Kör man Expedition så finns det numera ett bra supportforum. Man följer också Campbell Field på Twitter, då han brukar flagga för nyheterna […]
Some races are more special than others and attract sailors from far away. It may be for historic reasons, for great parties ort the number of boats on the starting line. The Færder Race have all of those components, and that’s why wee ceep coming back each year, despite nearly 400 nm transport back and […]
