North Sails Offshore Clinic

This weekend we have had a very good training weekend in connection with the North Sails Offshore Clinic based at Lökholmen at Sandhamn. The training started on Friday and after an afternoon session at high speed we did night sailing in the dark with various courses and also an exercise in MOB which is always useful to practice. On Saturday the training continued and we also did some more distance sailing with some open bows, very good to get some practice in. Finally today there was more start training and more cross country sailing.

Really good with a training weekend like this when we get to race against other boats and do some different exercises and give us the opportunity to tune up even better!

We thank North Sails, SHF and KSSS for a very good event and perhaps the best NSOC so far? We would love to come back again and hope even more boats take the chance next year and to have so much varied training with starts, short course, manoeuvres, night sailing, MOB, open bulkheads, distance etc in one weekend with other boats is unique! Special thanks to Anders Lewander, Christian Harding and Anders Bengtsson for coaching us at sea! See you next year again.
