Just back after a few days of training and preparations outside the sailing center of Sandhamn in clear but cold conditions. We hade the privilege to exercise together with a few other ORCi boats like the two Farr 40s Stormtrooper and Hurrykanen, the Sydney 40 Rush, AlmaViva a First 40 and SALT 2.0 an Arcona 465 Carbon. We did speed checking against each other excellently coordinated by Håkan Forslund from his Sydney 40 named Rush. We had excellent dinners at Sandhamn Värdshu

Finally out on the water trying out some new sails and getting all the pieces together. A few degrees over the freezing point with some patches of clear skies with no wind. This was mixed up with gusty fronts with snow and +20 knot wind. Freezing cold for the crew. A lot of adjustments to be made trying to get all the trim lines adjusted and everything running smoothly. Need more time on there water but we will get there finally. More practice needed. #Training #Seatrial

How can we train in this? We were a bit caught of guard when the first snow hit us already early in November. We got almost a feet of snow in a couple of hours covering Stockholm in a beautiful but less practical layer of snow. It took a while before all snow was cleared out from the pit. A week later, everything was back to normal. #Training
