My last H5000 article was eight shortcuts. This one is the long road, as described by someone who tunes instruments and pilots for a living. A few weeks ago a thread on Sailing Anarchy caught my eye: “H5000 pilot made our SunFast 3300 snake downwind – opinions wanted.” Same boat class as half the doublehanded […]
After two seasons with the J/99, we’re pretty happy with our sail setup, and a lot of people have asked us for specifics. So here goes: what we chose, why, and what the data says after a season that included Gotland Runt and the RORC Baltic Sea Race. Including the one crossover we still haven’t […]
Notera att det är jag (och inte Alfred) som satt batterierna “snett” för att fÃ¥ ner tyngdpunkten. Hade han fÃ¥tt bestämma sÃ¥ hade det blivit en snygg liten hylla. Skall man segla offshore, sÃ¥ är elsystem och batterier viktigt. Vi seglar ju typiskt race pÃ¥ 600 nm eller 4 dygn, och dÃ¥ behöver man tänka […]
Veckans läsarfrÃ¥ga kommer frÃ¥n Johan pÃ¥ Xp-33 Tärna, som vi hade en bra fight med under Ã¥rets Gotland Runt. Hej Peter, Jag seglar och hobbyrejsar min Xp33 Tärna med stort nöje. Jag seglar nästan uteslutande shorthand, och anpassar gradvis bÃ¥ten för detta. Just nu är fokus pÃ¥ ergonomi för rorsman. Jag har precis gjort om […]
Me during the Bermuda 1-2, just south of Nantucket. Tricky conditions for any autopilot. After more than 7 seasons with the H5000 across two boats, countless hours on Sailing Anarchy threads, B&G’s own advanced training materials, and conversations with people who set these systems up for a living, I’ve collected a set of insights that […]
Segling är ju en oändligt komplex sport. Det kan tidvis vara frustrerande, men det är ocksÃ¥ det som gör vÃ¥r sport till en livslÃ¥ng utmaning där man aldrig blir fullärd. Varje gÃ¥ng man tycker att man har bra koll pÃ¥ nÃ¥got, sÃ¥ visar det sig att man bara hade skrapat pÃ¥ ytan. Det är ocksÃ¥ […]
As we refresh our sail inventory for 2026 – with an increased focus on offshore double-handed racing – our excellent set of Incidence sails is now available. They’ve been raced inshore for two seasons with great results (see below), and the Incidence D4 carbon laminate has held up very well. We wrapped up the season […]
in collaboration with Maurten. We’ve always been pretty data-driven. The kind of crew that nerds out on everything from sail cross-overs and weight placement to bottom paint. Sailing is a technical sport, after all. One area that surprised us with how much it moved the needle was nutrition. Years ago, leading up to Kerteminde Big Boat, […]
