Pub evening and meeting

We plan a meeting within the next weeks to discuss who of us will join the board in the Yacht Club. At the same time we will have a beer or two.

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

I checked out Petrus build tonight. It is very impressive to follow his 2.4mR project.
You can really tell this guy does this for a living.

Check out his site at: Stradivari

Next week we are planning a fall meeting in the Nyköping 2.4mR fleet. Please let Blogmaster know what evening works best for you.

Good meeting

We had a good meeting with our Yacht club's president last Thursday.
His ideas goes hand in hand with ours and we look forward to a very interesting 2009.
We will have a meeting at a local restaurant within the next two weeks, to further discuss the future of our 2.4mR fleet and activity. Anyone interested in joining us, please give blogmaster a call or send an e-mail.



Congratulations to Stellan Berlin who won his 5th World Championship!

Alla i flottiljen som kan den dagen uppmanas att dyka upp för att bidra med ideér samt visa intresse.

Rita in Torsdagen den 23/10 i din kallender! 17:00!

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

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?

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

Sailing on Thursday night

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

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!

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

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!

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

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!

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!

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

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

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.
