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 Ă€r jag (och inte Alfred) som satt batterierna “snett” för att fĂ„ ner tyngdpunkten. Hade han fĂ„tt bestĂ€mma sĂ„ hade det blivit en snygg liten hylla. Skall man segla offshore, sĂ„ Ă€r elsystem och batterier viktigt. Vi seglar ju typiskt race pĂ„ 600 nm eller 4 dygn, och dĂ„ behöver man tĂ€nka […]
Veckans lĂ€sarfrĂ„ga kommer frĂ„n Johan pĂ„ Xp-33 TĂ€rna, som vi hade en bra fight med under Ă„rets Gotland Runt. Hej Peter, Jag seglar och hobbyrejsar min Xp33 TĂ€rna med stort nöje. Jag seglar nĂ€stan uteslutande shorthand, och anpassar gradvis bĂ„ten för detta. Just nu Ă€r fokus pĂ„ 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 Ă€r ju en oĂ€ndligt komplex sport. Det kan tidvis vara frustrerande, men det Ă€r ocksĂ„ det som gör vĂ„r sport till en livslĂ„ng utmaning dĂ€r man aldrig blir fullĂ€rd. Varje gĂ„ng man tycker att man har bra koll pĂ„ nĂ„got, sĂ„ visar det sig att man bara hade skrapat pĂ„ ytan. Det Ă€r ocksĂ„ […]
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. Theyâve 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. Weâve 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, […]
I â€ïž 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.
