Once again, we participated to Robline Skagen Race. Check out the reports from previous years with us (2020, 2021, 2022) In the past years, it had come to represent a relatively important event for the double-handed community in the area. However this year, DH attendance faltered and at one point,Continue Reading
Once again time for Pantaenius Bohusracet. And once again a airy affair. Very airy. In fact airier than the previous year (check out my report here). As the date approached and we monitored the forecasts, a deep depression started forming on the North Sea, generating gale force winds for aContinue 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
