Hej,

Brev från Per:

Hej!
Bifogar en ny planering. Optimisternas rikskval krockade med
Sörmlandscupen i Nävekvarn. Regattan i Nävekvarn är nu flyttad till
pingsthelgen.

Jag tittar också på möjligheten att ha ett JSM-läger i Arkösund
tillsammans med Team Östergötland den 18-19/6. Finns det intresse för det
så att jag ska jobba vidare?

Silvervingen restoration

2010-09-17T14:19:00.000-07:00

The restoration of Silvervingen is in overdrive at the moment. Fredrik is doing everything in his power to get the Oregon Pine deck in place before it gets too cold for the epoxy to set.
Amazing work as always. Enjoy the pictures.

It has been some time now since my last post, and my brother has made great progress on his restoration of his 6mR SWE 31 Silvervingen. Pictures show first layer of deck plywood, before and after painting (underside).

Silvervingen restoration

2010-06-30T07:26:00.000-07:00

My brother has made big progress the last couple of weeks on his 6mR restoration of SWE 31 Silvervingen. The first plywood layer (6mm) is soon ready to be permanently fitted to the deck beams. The underside is painted white but does not show in these pictures.
Since Blogmaster threw his Canon G9 in the baltic while being a sailing instructor two weeks ago, these pics where taken with my trusty old Canon G5 from 2003.

My brother shoot a couple of new pictures today of his restoration of SWE 31 Silvervingen. He spends a tremendous amount of time hand planing the deck beams to align with the three dimensional surface "called the deck". Hours spent getting it all aligned that no one will ever recognize... unless they read this blog that is...

My nephew Gustavs boat

2010-05-03T12:23:00.000-07:00

My 8 year old Nephew Gustav and myself have been building this RC sail boat during the past winter. Some work still to be done to the rigging and sheet system, before we take it apart for paint. Nice boat that will carry quite a bit of sails. We plan for it to be a light air missile.

6mR SWE31 Silvervingen restoration

2010-03-10T02:11:00.000-08:00

My brother has spent the past 1.5 months building this internal framework. Beautiful craftsmanship as always. He is now waiting for temperatures to rise above 10 degrees C, allowing him to mount this assembly on the boat. The shrouds will be connected to the mast foot with adjustable rods. The design is light and very strong. The reinforcement knees are made from Acid proof stainless steel and polished to a high gloss finish. I'm very impressed and proud of the work my brother is doing with his boat/restoration.

2010-01-24T02:34:00.000-08:00

SWE19 "Tre Kronor" sailing off the coast of San Diego 1992.
Good looking boat that I'm sure would have been more successful if more money had been spent on the project. In comparison to Sweden's one boat challenge, Italy and New Zealand built 5 boats each for the 1992 America's Cup.

America's Cup 1992 part 3

2009-12-25T06:34:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas everybody!
I hope you are having a nice relaxing holiday with your family and friends.

This is a picture of the Spanish IACC boat from 1992 called ESP22.
The boat finished 5th in San Diego, beating the Swedish boat who placed 7th.
The only boat the Swedish boat Tre Kronor SWE-19 beat was Australia Challenge AUS-17.

America's Cup 1992 part 2

2009-12-04T22:04:00.000-08:00

The New Zealand team did a very impressive challenge in 1992.
They built a total of five boats. The syndicate chairman was Sir Michael Fay. Skipper Rod Davis, and debuting as syndicate manager was no one other than Sir Peter Blake.
Unfortunately NZL 20 lost against ITA 25 Il Moro di Venezia V (even if Wiki calls ITA 16 the winner in the 1992 LV cup), in the Louis Vuitton final. I will off course change this information if it turns out to be wrong.
Being a young boy hanging out in the bars in San Diego, I met several of the team members working in the New Zealand team, which lead to a trip down under for me.
Read more about the late Sir Peter Blake here.
Read more about Il Moro Di Venezia IV here.

Il Moro Di Venezia's chairman Raul Gardini, unfortunately took his life in 1993 after his financial and political integrity had been called into serious question.

America's Cup 1992

2009-11-29T00:15:00.000-08:00

Blogmaster found some old pictures in the attic from 1992. Sweden raced with "Tre Kronor" SWE19 in the Louis Vuitton Cup. I had the privilege to go out with the Media boat for the two first days of racing. These pictures were taken the first day "Tre Kronor" raced with SAAB sponsorship. The free lance reporter writing for Aftonbladet was bummed because they had taken 1500 pics of the boat the day before, during practice, without the SAAB logo... I proudly present to you, original America's Cup yacht photos from 1992, taken by Blogmaster at the age of 23... Long time ago...
I need to add. The boat designed by Peter Norlin. "Tre Kronor" with skipper Gurra Kranz at the helm.

Sailing with Conny this Saturday

2009-08-26T07:30:00.000-07:00

We will race Arkörunt with Conny this coming weekend. It will be fun and hopefully good weather. Posting a picture from 3 years ago.

Sailing today cancelled due to strong winds

2009-08-15T23:13:00.000-07:00

We planned to sail today, but 10-15m/s winds made us re-think...
Hopefully we can sail early this week instead.

Rain and heavy winds

2009-07-21T15:00:00.000-07:00

Heavy winds and rain in the afternoon prevented us from sailing today.
We decided to play it safe since it was the first launch of the season and Johan pretty much only sailed once last year. Wind speeds in excess of 31 miles/hour winds (14 meters/second). We hope to try again on Thursday or Friday.
The picture is from a couple of days ago. Nice breeze and sunny weather.

Sailing tomorrow Tuesday!

2009-07-20T15:07:00.000-07:00

Johan and myself spent a couple of hours on Monday night making our boats ready to sail. We plan to sail tomorrow afternoon/evening. I can't wait! It has been way too long since we sailed.

Fantastic 6mR!

2009-06-04T12:10:00.000-07:00

Look and admire my brothers 6mR. He has finally redone all the wood frames in his beautiful 6mR Silvervingen (Silver wing). In my eyes an unbelievable achievement that he has been working on for 3.5 years.

Short report

2009-05-30T22:46:00.000-07:00

There has been very little activity on this website this spring. Check back in about a month when blogmaster has finished restoring the guest house... It has been a busy spring and we can't wait to start sailing.

The crane in Oxelösund is delayed due to finalizing the foundation design and also building permits. According to Hasse Martinsson, it is now back on track and should be completed pretty soon. This means we have two sailing sites for our 2.4mR's within a 10 mile radii. Personally I can't wait to take SWE429 out on the water again. It has been a long brake this time. If only the tiling went a little faster...

Sailing soon!!!!!!!!

2009-04-27T10:14:00.000-07:00

Yes,
Spring has finally arrived and for the past couple of weeks it has been really nice weather here in Nykoping, Sweden.
Mathias declared he might sail next weekend, and blogmaster might too if the weather is still nice.

28th of March and snow...

2009-03-28T07:36:00.000-07:00

Well, it still feels like the sailing season is a long way off.
We had snow coming down like crazy yesterday afternoon and evening. It is melting today, but I have to admit, I would have preferred rain.

They are promising warm weather next weekend. I hope to have my new shop floor painted by then, allowing me to bring my boat home for a spring clean and fix.

I can't believe Calle is gone. He was such a great guy and I will miss him a lot.
I had the privilege to visit him while he was building his own design 2.4mR, and I could tell it was a dream come true for him.
This picture was taken during my visit in Göteborg/Gothenburg. Rest in peace Calle.
I know you are sailing, wherever you are now.

It is Conny and Lennart's old boats at the guest marina in Nykoping.
These boats now reside in Tranas.

The new crane in Oxelosund will be a nice addition to places to sail for us living in the Nykoping/Oxelosund area.

Ny kran och telfer till Oxelösund

2009-02-16T10:17:00.000-08:00

Ett företag i Nyköping skänker en kran med telfer till Oxelösunds Segel Sällskap.
På så vis får vi två ställen att segla på här i närheten. Möjligheter att börja segla tidigare på året än vad vi har i Nyköping och även senare på hösten. Säsongen blir således mycket längre.

Invitation to sail from Petrus in Tranås

2009-01-13T08:57:00.000-08:00

I kväll har jag varit på segelklubbens styrelsemöte 2 viktiga punkter den ena ungdomssegling den andra tävlingskalendern. vi tar den senare punkten, den 8 augusti skall det seglas "lilla sommen runt" kanske en väl lång distansegling för 2,4:or men för att dra lite folk till seglarvik (klubbstugan) så skulle det vara kul om ni ville komma och segla lite. tanken är att på kvällen ha lite klubbfest och om intresse finns så skulle man även kunna segla på söndagen. är det en dag och ide som ni och era seglarvänner kan tända på?

New Year, soon we will be sailing again

2009-01-09T21:06:00.000-08:00

We are already 10 days into the new year. The weather has turned for the warmed again in Sweden. Heatwave for the season with predicted +4 to +6 degrees this weekend.
Posting a picture to help us daydream about the upcoming season.

Happy New Year!

2008-12-31T03:53:00.001-08:00

The Nyköping Fleet wishes everyone a Happy New Year 2009!

Hopefully 2009 will be better than the economists are saying. They didn't do a very good job predicting 2008, let's take that as a good sign...

I hope we get a 2.4mR year 2009 that includes our fleet growing and many great days of sailing.

Visit to Oxelösund

2008-12-27T14:33:00.000-08:00

Mathias and blogmaster visited the marina in Oxelösund today. Two 606 boats in the water, but not sailing today. Maybe the 30 degree weather had something to do with it... Nice blue sky and light winds made it a pretty day.
There was no ice on the water in Oxelösund and if the temperatures had been above freezing, not good reason you couldn't have sailed today. I guess if you are really tough you could have sailed even if it was freezing cold...

Sunny in Nyköping today

2008-12-21T02:03:00.001-08:00

We have a very nice day in Nyköping today. Temps just above freezing and sunny.
At least no rain, we have had enough of that the past week.
Global warming not allowing for winter sports... No ice and no snow.

The meeting with NYSS Nyköping Yacht Club:

Time will tell what is going to happen. We didn't get any promises other than they like us to continue with our activity. We have still not ruled out a move to Oxelösund. Time will tell what happens.

Soon it is Christmas! And today is the darkest day of the year and from now on days will slowly get longer!!!

Yacht Club yearly meeting tomorrow

2008-12-02T11:56:00.000-08:00

It will be interesting to hear what the club has in store for us.

I will report the outcome of the meeting here at the blog tomorrow night.

Vi har pratat med ordförande i OXSS och han är positiv till att vi flyttar över vår verksamhet till OXSS. Mer information kommer så fort blogmaster vet något mer.

Hela flottiljen har fått tycka till och är positiva till en övergång.

Stradivari right side up!

2008-11-08T14:21:00.000-08:00

I got an e-mail from Petrus tonight. He has turned his Stradivari right side up and the boat looks beautiful! I can't wait to see it in real life.
It sure looks like a piece of art.

Blogmaster poured the last bit of concrete on the yardhouse this afternoon. Final wall goes up tomorrow and this means more sailing and less home improvement work 2009.

Pub evening and meeting

2008-11-07T22:56:00.000-08:00

Vi planerar ett möte de närmaste veckorna för att diskutera vem av oss som kan tänka sig gå in i styrelsen i segelsällskapet. Vi passar på att äta en bit och ta ett par öl också. Hör av er till mig vilka tider som funkar för er.

Impressive build

2008-10-29T14:26:00.000-07:00

You can really tell this guy does this for a living.

Enligt Mathias så har ordföranden i Nyköpings Segelsällskap Gerold Ekström kallat till möte på varvet den 23/10 klockan 17:00. Alla i flottiljen som kan den dagen uppmanas att dyka upp för att bidra med ideér samt visa intresse. Vi kommer att diskutera vad som behöver åstadkommas för att möjliggöra 2.4mR segling även för handikappade seglare.

Väl mött och må 2009 bli ett bättre och mer aktivt 2.4mR år än 2008.

Blogmaster

This is an internal message to our fleet members about a meeting at the marina with the president of our yacht club. He has shown interest in our fleet and wants to make it possible for disabled sailors to join us and sail the 2.4mR.

Cool picture

2008-09-20T03:23:00.000-07:00

Posting a cool picture from the spring of 2006. I was assembling my boat after a total re-build the winter 2005-06.

Sailing tomorrow?

2008-09-20T03:13:00.000-07:00

No wind today. Hopefully I will sail tomorrow Sunday. Give blogmaster a call if you want to sail too.

Sailing on Thursday night

2008-09-10T10:58:00.000-07:00

There is a chance we will sail tomorrow Thursday. Very light air has been predicted and we will see tomorrow if there is any chance we can sail.
The weather in August has been really strange... Lot's of rain and either strong wind or no wind at all. Blogmaster are recovering from a tennis elbow... Really weird to have a tennis elbow, since I don't play tennis...

Posting link to a site I found on the internet. Very cool that Bill Blevin is linking to our site.
I will add a link to his site from our blog site.

Pictures from previous session

2008-09-02T23:21:00.000-07:00

Mathias sent me these pictures he took with his cellphone last time we went sailing together.
August disappeared pretty fast this year, but we are sailing this coming weekend if there is wind and not too much rain.

Sailing on Sunday!

2008-08-27T09:07:00.000-07:00

It looks like the weather finally is going to smile at us this coming weekend.
After a very poor August (weather wise) it is finally looking better.
I plan to sail on Sunday morning. Give me a call if you want to join me.

I'm waiting for pictures from Mathias, who was the only brave soul who sailed this past weekend. I was too busy fixing a hole in our yard house...

Quick update

2008-08-14T13:53:00.000-07:00

Well, The weather has not been all that great the past week and a half.
It looks like it is getting better.
My buddy Pete thinks I'm slacking off not updating the blog.
This one is for him.

We moved our daughter to Linköping University today. A big day for our family and a big change for her.
I have already called her, but she said she was fine...

Sailing maybe on Saturday or Sunday. Johan is out of town, but Mathias said he was eager to sail. Posting a picture from a previous session.

Congratulations to Mathias SWE319 who got a baby daughter yesterday!

2008-07-30T14:44:00.000-07:00

Posting a picture of Mathias and his older daughter Tilda sailing last Thursday.
Mathias got another baby daughter yesterday. All of us in the Nyköping fleet of 2.4mR's sends our congratulations to Anna and Mathias!

Sailing tonight

2008-07-30T11:59:00.000-07:00

Johan and Blogmaster sailed in beautiful wind and warm weather tonight.
Johan is showing great boat speed with his new SWE393 (SWE429 in his sails).

We plan to sail again before the weekend to beat the cold front they claim is due on Saturday.

SWE393 showing great performance for it's first time out!

2008-07-24T12:02:00.000-07:00

We sailed in beautiful weather and a nice sea breeze tonight. Johan did very well for it being his first time out in SWE393 (with wind). He sailed with borrowed sails, but showed impressive boat speed despite the sails not being of the latest design.

Temps around 27 degrees (80F) and clear blue skies. Swedish summer at it's best in other words. Sunday looks like the next time we will sail.

Sailing tomorrow Thursday! Torsdagssegling imorgon!

2008-07-23T07:12:00.000-07:00

We will meet at the marina around 16:00 tomorrow Thursday the 24 of July.

Johan, Mathias, Conny and Blogmaster are going to sail.
Hopefully we will get Lennart going after the vacation and with his house remodeling done. I have a pretty big remodeling of my garage/ workshop to deal with this summer. This is definitely cutting back on my sailing time. But tomorrow and Sunday it looks like sailing.

Summer video

2008-07-15T03:58:00.000-07:00

Posting a video clip from Sunday afternoon.
An over strained arm prohibits Blogmaster from sailing at the moment.
Sunny and a nice breeze today, but sailing is going to have to wait until the arm has healed.

Drifting

2008-07-01T22:38:00.000-07:00

Johan finally got his SWE393 "Doris" in the water yesterday July 1st. The boat seams light and looks like a brand new boat. Johan looked very happy despite the lack of wind.

Sailing is planned for Friday July 4th, Independence day in USA.

Mathias and blogmaster took the opportunity (Mathias did most of the work) to cut the grass around our launch crane. We might have to do this one more time this summer, but for now it looks 100% better.

SWE393!

2008-06-25T00:01:00.000-07:00

Johan and Conny took their boats to the marina last night. Johan is really close make the maiden voyage in his beautifully restored SWE393.

Finally Sailing!

2008-06-16T10:24:00.000-07:00

Mathias and blogmaster finally got to sail on Sunday. Water level was up a little from last week, even if we did get some mud on our keels when launching our boats.
Wind picked up and stood pretty strong by the time we finished our practice.
Mathias and SWE319 showed much improved speed in breezier conditions due to 14kg added to his keel.

Vi behöver träffas i hamnen och klippa gräs, städa mm. Hör av er till blogmaster när ni kan tänka er ha tid.
