First small easter trip

The boat got in the water and we got away for some first short trips off the year sailing this Easter. Just sailing outside the harbour. We did one sleep over it where COLD!!

the view from Øresund towards the harbour.

The boat got a dockside rig tuning because there weren't any tuning guide with the boat.  It was decided that it was in good order to get it tuned. It got really hard and nice. I have the measures but i am not really sure on the % of each stay but here it goes.

We used http://www.riggerservice.dk/ and where really satisfied with the service and we can recommend it.

• top stay - 17 to 20 %
• back stay - 16  but should be over 20 % but the stay where to long new one is needed.
• intermediate shrouds - 15 %
• fore shrouds - 20 %
• back shrouds - 18 %

Furling genua nice tension on the stay but it should be hirer.

Main sail.

Good speed 8.6 kn off wind 7.3 kn of speed.

Sunset over Copenhagen.

The shrouds after dock side tunning.

Really nice weather.

Spring prep

Long time no see. After one year in the water we thought it was time to get the boat in shape for the new season. I just finished prepping the boat for the next season. Wax on wax off wax on wax off. Painting the bottom.

The side of the boat where treated three times. Beginning 1 .with rubbing the with Farecla G6 2. polishing with Farecla G10 and 3. waxing on/off with Hempel Wax telcel.

The bottom where treated in three steps 1. power wash 2. sandpaper rup 3. paint, Jotun NonStop VK white paint. The sail drive got to coats of Hempel's Alusafe.

Just cleaned the cockpit, elbow grease, soft bush and soap.

Nice and clean on the top/deck before lifting.
