Today we did a full-day training on the sea outside Sandhamn. It was quite windy about 22-26 knots during the day with a good sea lake. Sunny but really cold though. Really good to train in these conditions and you are reminded if everything becomes so much more difficult and takes longer when everything is rocking and tilting and to train in tough offshore conditions that today are very useful!

The focus of the day was partly to make sailcheck of our new sails and to do speed tests with our new fock. We had expert expertise in the form of Martin from North Sails on the boat which was great.

Our new sails, including a Jib Top and new stag sail, look awesome and it's fun to work with North Sails who are real professionals! During the speed tests with our new hard wind flanx, we found a little extra speed after some trim changes – the sail feels fast! Check out the video below at our new reaching setup.
