Folkboat Finnish Championship 2020

In Classic, Fleet Race, NJK, Photos on by
The first day at the Nordic Folkboat Finnish Championship started in heavy sea mist. Practical visibility was less than 200 meters, so first time ever I had to start by driving my RIB to the organizers (NJK) harbour and ask where the boats are. Luckily one Race Committee motor boat with Pata and Robbie happened […]
The first day at the Nordic Folkboat Finnish Championship started in heavy sea mist. Practical visibility was less than 200 meters, so first time ever I had to start by driving my RIB to the organizers (NJK) harbour and ask where the boats are. Luckily one Race Committee motor boat with Pata and Robbie happened to be there so the first photo is taken when I'm following them to the Folkboat fleet which is moving together with the start boat out to the race area. After noon the heaviest sea mist vanishes...

Airisto Classic is a regatta organized by Airisto Segelsällskap i Åbo in Turku, the old capital (until 1812) of Finland. The race harbour is another big chapter of Finnish yacht building history, the Åbo Båtvarv. Big thanks to the Håkans company/family who has restored the old boat yard area to a multifunctional work and experience […]

The race harbour is another big chapter of Finnish yacht building history, the Åbo Båtvarv. Big thanks to the Håkans company/family who has restored the old boat yard area to a multifunctional work and experience center.

This year the Espoo-Suursaari offshore race was replaced by Helsinki Two Star Bengtskär Runt. I went there adventuring in the middle of the night with my 4,9 meter RIB. I read notes from the different two handed teams who attended the race and, whoa, it was challenging for me too. For me the RIB (safari) […]
This year the Espoo-Suursaari offshore race was replaced by Helsinki Two Star Bengtskär Runt. I went there adventuring in the middle of the night with my 4,9 meter RIB. I read notes from the different two handed teams who attended the race and, whoa, it was challenging for me too. For me the RIB (safari) started from Hanko at 1:55 in the night and I arrived at the Bengtskär lighthouse about 1 hour later. It was nice to surf the waves with wind from behind. Checked the tracker and saw that the...

During the spring renovation of our 6mR yacht FIN-60 "Off Course" I heard that the Finnish Olympic sailing team is having a training camp the following week at the same sailing club, HSK (Helsingfors Segelklubb). I got out with my RIB on a sunny and windy day and got some photos of the laser class and just a couple of the fast moving 49ers and the new foiling iQFoil surfboards. After a short coffee break I picked up a drone and filmed the Windsurf Team foiling (and swimming). Unfortunately I didn't...
