North Sails Offshore Clinic

During the weekend we have been in the North Sails Offshore Clinic on the sea outside Sandhamn. There have been a lot of good, useful and fun exercises for the dozens of boats that were there. We started on Friday afternoon with start training and shorter course training, then after a little break it was on Friday night jungle track and MOB training – very healthy and quite difficult as it was dark and foggy.

Then we drove all Saturday with the most jungle courses on the sea with a lot of maneuvers and different angles to sail – fun and eventful! On Saturday night there was another "night pass" and now it was even more foggy, dark, a bit strange lake that made it extremely challenging to trim and steer right and very instructive. To push ourselves a little bit, we also made several sail changes in these conditions and our fore deck has really had to work hard all weekend and done it very well! Today we then finished with some starts, shorter track sailings and then speed training boat to boat.

We are also very happy that we had Roger Nilson on board during the weekend and to have such a professional with all his experience is very instructive in many different ways. We look forward to having Roger on board more during the season!

We also extend a big thank you to the organizers North Sails, KSSS and SHF who arranged this and we really appreciate being able to train in this way together with other boats. We hope this continues again next year and that even more boats will take the opportunity to participate and develop, we can really recommend it.

On the way home just outside Sandhamn we also met at Childhood who was on their way to their start – really cool boat.
