29th of July Swan regatta the first day












The day was full of excitement. Before the race we had to sail to the venue (Airisto) along Aura river. It was a fantastic moment. Around 100 swans moved slowly along the river. All beautiful and majestic. All the crew was quiet - just like entering the cathedral.

Our race was also ok. We participated in the LYS2A . In the same start we had three other Swan 371s. Among them we were second so 2/4 is fine result among equals.

In the evening the Skipper had an invitation to Castle of Turku where all the Swan-owners together with their avec gathered.

Not only the venue, also the program and company were great. The first Swan-owner told the story of how he ended to purchase Tarantella,  Mr Koskenkylä told his part of the story as a founder of Nautor finally Mr Ferragamo as present owner also included his spices on the potpourri.

Happy 50th birthday Nautor!

After that Skipper with his avec joined the crew party on AquilaDeux.
