Rejäl krasch i Extreme Sailing Series
Vad säger ni om den här? Inte så mycket en kollision som att lägga en katamaran ovanpå en annan…
Äntligen fredag…
Sommarkänsla! Visst är det så här man minns det? Gennakern sitter uppe 80% av tiden.
The story of Baltic Yachts
Det är något visst med Baltic. När jag var liten skickade jag efter ritningar på coola Baltic-båtar och satte upp på väggarna i pojkrummet. Jag älskade de vinklade skotten och hur man så tydligt var en utmanare mot mer traditionella Swan.
I samband med att jag och Erik Lindgren seglade Watski 2star på hans Baltic 50 Spirit, så var vi också på varvet i Jakobstad och träffade legendariske PG Johansson. Det var när man precis hade sjösatt Hetairos, och det blev så tydligt att inget var omöjligt.
Hittade den här presentationen om varvets histora.
Kör på fullskärm och njut.

Wanted | Farr 30:s For Sale
This is a cry out to anyone out there who owns a Farr 30 but doesn’t race it in one design regattas.
Please, please sell your boat! The Farr 30 is one of the best boats ever built. Ask anyone who have ever raced or sailed on one. But today there are just way to few of the 200+ boats that was built that are actually racing in the one design regattas. At the same time there are lots of people who are looking for a Farr 30 to buy, but they can´t find any. There are a few to be found on the different yacht broker sites around, but where are all the rest?
We are primarily searching for Farr 30:s for sale in Europe. The one design class is growing rapidly in northern europe with Sweden as a strong fleet with some 15 boats.
