AquilaDeux moored waiting for the match race.
Decision: No coefficients used.
Route from Vyborg Stone to the Särkkä.
Our Crew: Skippers mother. The "Skipperin"
Skippers sis' Mirja. The "pocket rocket"
On the deck you see Helmi and Milla (Mirja's children).
The Yacht behind is a racer S/Y Sunday with 100%
experienced crew. Skippered by Erkki the AQ2 Skip's
Brother.
And here you see also Kalle (Mirja's son, also called
"Popeye the Sailor") on the rope excercise with Helmi
After a short meeting o shore we decided to match around Santahamina to Särkkä.
Wind was blowing fro E -SE about 6 m/s (perfect!) - Goal was on the west so we sailed on open fair wind. AquilaDeux has a possibility to use Spinnaker (not really with this crew) And S/Y Sunday used Gennaker (Which is really well done because Erkki was alone in his Ultra-fast racing boat Finngulf 33).
We sailed quite close to each other, but S/Y Sunday was not able to pass us. AQ2 crossed the finishing line first.
Fantastic sunny Day. Thank You crew! Thank You Erkki!
