We have been wanting to sail to sail Pater Noster Race for a few years, without success. Finally the stars aligned and we made it there. Last Saturday, we sailed Pater Noster Race 2023 in perfect conditions. Shining sun, light to medium breeze from the South-West. A great way toContinue Reading
A long awaited race. Stora Oset Race opened our racing season. In spite of a low attendance, at merely 10 boats, Stora Oset offered beautiful conditions and an interesting race. Light air, forecasted to die out later during the day. And yet, the racing committee decided to go for theContinue Reading
We are now registered to Stora Oset Race, our first regatta in 2023. We love Stora Oset because it signals the beginning of the racing season. It mixes inshore with some open water. It has very different conditions from year to year. And it comes with a doublehanded class. WeContinue Reading

After taking part to the “real” post-covid version, Robline Skagen Race climbed to one of our favourite races. (Race report from last year here) Why? It’s one of the few races in open waters on the West side of Sweden. Albeit not being especially interesting from a strategic point ofContinue Reading
Last weekend I sailed Gothenburg Lighthouses Solo Race 2022. 3rd edition! Attendance was a bit lower this year, probably because it overlapped with the Swedish Distance Championship at Lerkil which pulled several local boats and crews. Nevertheless, we had glorious conditions and wonderful sailing. Again! Sun (at least half ofContinue Reading

Last weekend we participated to Hermanö Runt 2022. Unplanned and spontaneous. I was itching to race and couldn’t quite resist to one of the most fun regattas along the coast. Hermanö Runt is not shorthanded race, but it allows for shorthanded yachts to participate and what the hell, could IContinue Reading
The registration for Gothenburg Lighthouses Solo Race is now open. At its 3rd edition, the race brings together like minded singlehandlers, both veterans and first-timers, around some of Gothenburg iconic lighthouses. For those who sleep over at Björkö on the previous day, it has become tradition to get together forContinue Reading
Last weekend we sailed Pantaenius Bohusracet 2022, which was one of the most awaited races for the season. It turned out undoubtly the toughest race to date. Previous editions (for us) have been all about patience and mental strength (our reports 2021 and 2022). Pantaenius Bohusracet 2022, aboard the J/80Continue Reading
