Hermanö Runt håller stilen
Som ni vet så är Hermanö Runt ett av mina absoluta favoritrace. Eventuellt har man svenskt rekord i kvoten “bra arrangemang med liten bemanning” (kanske Gullvivan eller Kolfiberrodret är i samma liga)? Detta syns också på deltagarantalet som har varit stabilt de senaste 20 åren. I år verkar intresset ännu större, då många anmält sig […]
ORC Doublehanded EM | Trash Talk
Kul att följa doublehanded-em i Helsingfors. Jag håller så klart lite extra koll på båtarna nedan. Jolene och Vitesse stack ut hakan genom att vina tune-up… Tracking här. Är det inte lite lustigt att J/99 och First 36.7 går i olika klasser. Class B: APH from 518.0 – 557.9 s/NM – Blur har APH 556.2Class C: […]
Textile quick connectors 🤩
I ❤️ the Internet. Surfing after lightweight Dyneema bags on Etsy (another story) I found these amazing textile quick connectors. Perfect for our main halyard. A few days later they show up in the mail Thanks to Gilles at Sud Rigging – his Etsy page here.

DCNS, Marc Thiercelin’s new IMOCA 60, is taking shape at Multiplast in Vannes. The hull has just been released from its mould. DCNS are building several components of the boat, including manufacturing the keel fin in a steel used for submarines.
Marc Thiercelin’s new 60 footer for the Vendée Globe is under construction at Multiplast in Vannes. The final assembly of the hull, structures and partitions has commenced, and the delicate operation of the hull from its mould has been completed by the yard. The hull of the yacht DCSN now sitting in the workshop is the result of a close cooperation between the architects of the Finot-Conq office and the Multiplast team. The deck will be joined to the deck this week.
DCNS, the new partner of the Rochelais skipper, have made several contributions to the construction of the boat. This includes a keel fin, which DCNS manufactured in a steel used for submarines. Strength and fatigue were undertaken by teams from DCNS’s Lorient site to the specifications of the boat’s architect. The keel fin was constructed by the teams from branches of DCNS in Cherbourg and Indret called upon their technological speciality (welding by an electron beam).
In addition, during the construction of the boat, the laboratory at DCNS’s Indret centre will carry out regular checks on the hull, as well as mechanical tests on the strength of carbon components. Moreover, the Brest site of DCNS will manufacture the cradle which supports the boat when she is out of the water.
