Emsalö Runt can be considered as a "recovery test sail after summer" for the crew. The race was sailed in the beautiful day the barometer showed 1010 hPa and the wind was blowing between 6-10 m/s (as forecasted).
Sun was shining. All the crew was well motivated and as always we did some typical mistakes, which we should prevent in the Helsinki-Tallin race that is the climax of the sailing year. For example for the long direct back winds it is better to take Spinnaker than Gennaker but on the other hand... if there is open not direct backwind ...gennaker is more effective, we can not use them both.
Lets see what the forecast will be for the Grande Race and decide in the last minute.
Results? not published yet, but will be in the net latest tomorrow.
