This time we collected all the crewmemberes and their spouses two two yachts. The aim was to have a small race (13 nm) to Juha's and Mari's hacienda. Have a lunch there and then go back to Helsinki.
We divided the crew so that Pekka, Mikaela, Anssi and Ani + Skipper were in AquilaDeux. Stidi, Siina, Jaska and Mervi in Mafalda. The race started at 10.30. and we used LYS rating for scores.
The crew in Aq2 was very beautiful (as always) and also well motivated as you can see from the picture.
Spinnaker training went just perfect! It took only half an hour to get the Kite up. And we even used it almost a minute!
AquilaDeux reached the goal 9 minutes 45 seconds before Mafalda.... but actually lost to Mafalda 5 minutes and fifteen seconds after using the LYS coefficients.
At Juha's and Mari's (the no 1 port in the Finnish gulf) there was finally 15 people (Jussi and Sari also arrived with their yacht). There we had some nice lunch grilled by Pekka and Jaska and enjoyed our time together.. Thanx again The J&M's.
At 19 we set sails back to the west. Mafalda stayed in Aq2 home docks overnight. Small beer tasting before falling asleep.
Fantastic day. Thanx to all!!!
