Bermuda Short-handed Return 2024
How eager are you to do a 635 nm double-handed race just five days after you finish a rough Newport Bermuda Race? At first, not so much. But as everyone in the crew flew home, except Mattias Bodlund and me, it felt natural to return to execution mode: work lists, food planning, and weather analysis. […]
Newport Bermuda Race 2024
It’s always hard to write a race report after a big race. Should you do it immediately afterward and try to capture the raw emotions, or wait a week or two to gain some perspective and reflect on strategy and execution? I had no choice as we had the Bermuda Double-handed Return Race to focus […]
Hur man följer Bermuda Shorthanded Return
I morgon söndag går starten på doublehanded-racet tillbaka till Newport. Inte jättemånga båtar, men riktigt duktiga solo- och doublehanded-seglare. Och bra arrat av NYYC. Vädret ser spännande ut med undanvind första dagen och sedan en rejäl kallfront som passerar över golfströmmen. Kan enligt uppgift bli lite hårigt med många squalls med 30-20 knops vind. Andra […]

Nu börjar vi bli klara för start. Ett par dagar med träning och segeltester här i Newport har gått bra, så nu är det bara det sista fixet kvar. Starten som går på fredag vid 14:00 lokal tid (20:00 i Sverige) kommer live-sändas på YouTube (ovan). Kommentera gärna – vi har koll även under race. […]
Bermuda 1-2 leg 2
This is part two of the Bermuda 1-2 race report. Part one is here: the solo leg to Bermuda. Bermuda is a fantastic place. But after recovering from leg one and getting boats and (most) skippers back in race condition, everyone was ready to go again. And as co-skippers, or “number two” started to arrive, […]
Doublehanded from Bermuda – how to follow
Time to race back to Newport. This time with Mattias Bodlund as co-skipper. The start is at 11:00 EDT Thursday. It looks like a decent southwesterly to get north, then a slight chance of 40+ knots before we enter lighter winds when we approach Newport. The biggest question is, naturally, how to manage the Gulf […]
J/99 Jazz T&R Bermuda
Man är lite seglingssugen när man seglar 2 x 635 distans för att hjälpa sin kompis att hämta hem en båt från Bermuda. Men vad gör man när man inte kan flyga dit. Experience and understand what it is like to sail offshore. The J/99 JAZZ was sailed by Rodney Johnstone and Clay Burkhalter from […]
