I finally got the point! But a good advice must contain a bit of pepper - the shelves are already empty. All red colored Glide Speed is gone...

Primer & antifoulung?

Hi, What does common knowledge say about the best epoxy primer for keel job (cast iron)? Hempel Light Primer? West System 105? Anything else? Another question is what would be a good sleek antifouling? I was using self-polishing Hempel Mille Xtra during past years. It has very good antifouling prope...

Then she has to comply with COLREGs and alter her course to avoid collision and any of the racing boats or racing committee could protest you for breaking R2.

Tässä vaiheessa Subbota saavutti meitä, meni meidän tuulen puolelle meidän ja Delphian väliin. Pakkohan siinä oli nostattaa. Katsoin, että siinä on jopa hieman tilaa väistyä. Hieman tiukka se väli taisi olla ja törmäyksen estääkseni en voinut nostaa muuta kuin pelästyttääkseni. Tämän tapahtuman seu...

I was few seconds late to start my timer, then I made a bad start, then all of the boats just sailed away and finally somebody turned off the wind so we reached the finish line at magnificent 1,5 knots. However, it was a good race, we all liked it. :)

Re: WHC 9/2013

WHC twitter: "Tänään on tarjolla vastatuulilähtö lähtöalueen ollessa n. Varsasaaren koilliskulman tienoilla. VHF-kanava 72 voi pitää meteliä"

How does a start from NE side of Varsasaari apply to the 5 tracks and where is the finish line then? Puzzled.

Hello all, A question to those who have installed mainsheet traveler trimming lines to coamings.
