Moderna båtar i ORCi?
Vad tror ni om den här båten som vann LILLA klassen på ORCi-VM i Sibenik?
Sugar 3 är en Italia 11.98, nertrimmad för att precis bli största båt i lilla klassen. En båt som ser sweet ut, men som man fått att gå långsammare än en Xp-38 eller Dehler 38. Well done. Eller inte…
Nu verkar tillochmed de som jobbat hårdast på att rita och optimera stora långsamma båtar (som ser sportiga ut) vilja se en förändring. Så här skriver Cossutti efter VM:
Just a short personal comment about the Worlds. Despite we saw sailing in C Group two new designs (Katariina II One – Off and Italia 11.98), launched recently, generally the entry list was all about old projects and only few new owners. Maybe it’s time to be less conservative and open the international ORC rules to some new, more exciting designs that could be more attractive for younger owners. For example, we tried this year with the optimization of a Melges 40, but it appears to be too penalized by the rules.
A good example of this different approach could be the upcoming next Championship in Newport, with the fleet of Melges 37 from New York Yacht Club. And also the Europeans in Capri, if the brand new Swan 36 should be allowed to be competitive, could open new 2.0 scenarios on the ORC class.

Sardinia Cup 1983
Lite söndagsnöje i regnet…
Båtnytt 3/1983 …”ett av de bästa seglingsprogram vi sett”. Tre svenska båtar deltog med Pelle Petterson, Peter Sundelin och Peter Norlin som rorsmän och Roger Nilson som Navigatör på Carat. Inspelad under två veckor 1982 på Sardinien. Vi får följa med under kappsegling på de tre svenska båtarna och se intervjuer med seglarna. Tävlingen arrangerades av Aga Khan.
More info on Hurrycane?
I’m sure many of my readers either sailed on, or have info on, this Peter Norlin yacht?
I’m not sure which one it is, since this Swedish yacht is also called Hurricane.
I found the boat in April last year in finn.no.
It was a very short add with subject “Norlin 40”, and the guy who owned it didn’t know much about its history. After quick search online, it became obvious that the boat was not one of the Norlin production boats, but most likely custom made one- (or two-?) ton boat from early 80s with flush deck and in pretty bad condition – something I was searching for last couple of years.
A week (and two visits) later I bought Hurrycane in Mandal, almost 500nm south from Ålesund where I wanted to have it next couple of years. Short summary of condition was: seized winches, engine with cracked block, rotten plywood in cockpit with huge leak, rig that has not been sailed for several years and unknown condition of the hull. As my plan was to make it ready for sailing up to Ålesund that summer, and I only had weekends and 2 weeks just before the sail, I needed to pick my battles and do “the musts” to make it safe for voyage. During these days plenty of things were sorted out: engine was sealed, running rigging was checked out and redone, lines washed and rearranged, winches serviced, chainplates reinforced, some of the leaks sorted out and Hurrycane finally tested and sailed.
We sailed Hurrycane in three from Mandal to Alesund in July and spend 12 days on the sea (including longer stop in Bergen for refreshment and sail repair J). Hurrycane is now out of the water, and I have started a more detailed repair.
I’ve spent a lot of time digging through any kind of info I could find about Hurrycane, but beside information that it was part of Admirals cup in 1981, Sardinia cup in 1982, and One ton cup in 1985, I was not able to find any more racing info. If somebody has more technical and/or racing info/documentation and is willing to send to me, I would really be grateful! (or even offer a sail if I ever find myself with Hurrycane in the area where that person lives J)
