Except that according to my judgement there was room to tack and that's why we did the thack. At 23:35 we have finalized our tack and Subbota has not yet reached us. So I see no breach of R13, unless Subbota had to bear away to avoid contact during our tack. R10 does not recognize claiming right of...

23:30: Tiukan lähestymiskulman takia merkin ja meidän väliin jäänyt pieni rako, jonka Subbota meinaa hyödyntää. Käännetään styyralle niin että estetään se. Tämä tuo meidät epämiellyttävän lähelle Sans Rivalia, joka jälleen jollain ihme höjdillä nostaa meidän yläpuolelle. Tosin mekin varmaan aika pa...

The worst race of the season (not counting the all-DNF) so far. SW-WSW wind 4(7) m/s. Racecourse 2 - a good choice from the RC. We were a little early at the start and had to kill speed before the line; then, we were a little bit slow on the spinnaker hoist, then the Minnamari Express rolled on top ...

The wind for the round-the-buoys races was SSW between 4 and 10 knots, traditionally very patchy for the conditions. Before the race, it felt that the right side of the race course was better, but since the wind was dying, every corner quickly became a dead end. During each race, we had low-wind pat...

Yes, the sailor's life is full of wonders. Luckily the hole and the gluing will be covered by the track itself unless it's really bad luck.

I don't remember the exact length, unfortunately, although I replaced it a few years ago. But a hint. I used 8 mm Dyneema and partially removed the outer shell - inside the boom, it is slick and thin-naked 6 mm Dyneema, but when it comes out of the boom and goes into the jammer and the winch, it is ...

Subbota has an unexpected crew shortage. If I don't find two people, we may drop off. If you have a pro-grade sailing crew in a dusty closet - send me a message.

AFAIU, there are nuts glued into the laminate. If the track bend is constant (likely it is), it should be possible to move it a couple of holes forward. Then you'll need to make new thru-hole with bolts and nuts - should be doable. Every FE83 has the same problem. Takaosa on liian pitkä It's useful ...

I wonder, is it the super-polished Charlotta's bottom, the 3Di G1, or the hiking power? We were just a little bit overpowered most of the way upwind.

The crew yesterday was Masha, Anna, Patrik, and me. The wind was SW (220⁰) 6 m/s with some gusts and lulls, although Harmaja's actual conditions were quite stronger; the forecast was weakening. We selected G1. The RC's choice was route 2. We started from the middle of the line, just on time. On the ...

The sun was also bit tricky so all sails just burn up in the video.

I think you did amazingly well! Thank you very much!

It's a common skipper's mistake to trust GPS. It's a common analyst's mistake to trust interpolated data.

Hard to tell if Charlotta and Subbota are perfectly aligned or if Charlotta is 10 cm ahead.
