Still no ice in Nyköping

The winter so far is very mild here in Sweden. No sign of ice or snow right now.
It is still too early to say spring, but the weather really feels like it.
No news to report from the Nyköping fleet. Lennart and blogmaster took a walk Sunday as part of our pre-season training program...
We plan to be in shape when the season starts...
Posting a picture from 2006 when Henrik Jonsson visited us here in Nyköping.
We sailed to the yacht clubs island and had lunch on the docks.

Bow heavy...


Sunshine in Nyöping today Monday the 4th of February. Not much news to report from the 2.4mR fleet in Nyköping this week. Johan is sanding and preparing the cockpit on SWE393 for a white coat of paint. SWE429 will recieve som TLC come closer to spring. Still no ice in Nyköping and we could sail if we could get to our crane. Next year we hope to have a more dedicated space around our crane, allowing us a longer season.
I'm posting a couple of pictures for you all to comment on...
Solsken i Nyköping idag måndagen den 4/2-2008. Stiltje på 2.4mR fronten här i Nyköpingsflottiljen. Johan slipar insidan på sin SWE393 och förbereder lackning av dito. Fortfarande ingen is här i Nyköping och vi kunde segla om vi bara kom fram till vår kran. Blogmaster hoppas att vi nästa år kan få en mer dedikerad plats att vara på med våra båtar. SWE429 ska få lite TLC (Tender love and care) lite närmare säsongen.
Postar några bilder som kan vara intressanta att kommentera...

6mR Silvervingen SWE31


Today blogmaster trained as a riveter while helping brother Fredrik with his project.
See attached pictures of the beautiful 1939 Tore Holm design.
Idag praktiserade blogmaster som Nagelapa. Fredrik håller på och nitar fast spanten mot skrovet och då krävs det mothåll, eller Nagelapa som det kallas på båtspråk (fick jag lära mig idag). Se bifogade bilder på den underbart vackra Tore Holm designen från 1939.

Restoration of 6mR SWE31 Silvervingen
Posting a picture of newly made frames drying after varnishing.
My brother Fredrik´s project is coming along and I will post new pictures soon showing the frames installed in the hull.
Postar en bild på nytillverkade spant som hänger och torkar efter att ha blivit fernissade. Bror Fredriks båtprojekt går verkligen framåt och jag kommer att posta mer bilder på båten efter att spanten blivit monterade.

Sailing video
The video shows Blogmaster and SWE429 during the first sail in Nyköping in May 2006.
Mathias shot this film with his digital camera.
Johan and Blogmaster will do some more work on SWE393 this weekend.
Hopefully completing the installation of the bilge pump.

SWE393 getting closer to completion

Johan and blogmaster worked on SWE393 Saturday morning. We made a bracket for the bilge pump along a couple of other things. Johans boat is coming along fine and there is no doubt he will be sailing this coming season. Today Sunday, Lennart and blogmaster went for a walk to visit with Johan and his SWE393. See attached picture.
This brings it to a total of 5 Norlin Mark III boats in our fleet for the 2008 season.
Johan och blogmaster jobbade lite på SWE393 igår lördag. Vi tillverkade ett fäste för länspumpen och några andra småfix. Johans båt är på god väg att bli färdig och det är ingen tvekan att han kommer att segla när säsongen drar igång. Idag söndag gick Lennart och blogmaster en promenad och hälsade på Johan och tittade på SWE393. Se bifogad bild. I och med färdigställandet av SWE 393 så är vi 5 st Norlin Mark III båtar i Nyköpings flottiljen till säsongen 2008.

History lesson

Blogmaster´s first encounter with the 2.4mR or Mini12 as it was called back in the day was in 1983 sailing the Odd Lindqvist 1:5. This is a picture from 1987 showing a happy Blogmaster fresh out of school.
I will dig up some more pictures of the Odd 1:5 and post on our website. The boat in the picture is still residing in Nyköping, but might be on it´s way to Tranås where it will be serving as a rental boat.

Happy New Year!


The 2.4mR Fleet in Nyköping wishes everyone a Happy New Sailing Year 2008!
Our mission for 2008 will be to participate more in national races.
Blogmaster and Conny went and said hello to SWE279 and SWE429 today. SWE429 will be upgraded with a new deck support along other things for the 2008 season. I will post pictures/drawings of the upgrades as the project progresses.

December in Nyköping


Blogmaster took a walk today in an unusually warm December Saturday in Nyköping, Sweden.
The ice had pretty much disappeared at our launch crane. If the weather stays like this we will be able to start the season early 2008. I would love to go to Gothenburg to sail the New Years day race. I have not ruled it out yet, but will call Calle no later than Monday if it will happen.

Global warming
While Christmas shopping today I walked to the new Ice-skating rink they just opened on main-street in our town. When I was a kid we used to skate on lakes and very often on the baltic. A couple of places in town were you could skate on naturally frozen ice.
This ice skating rink of 2007 is made out of plastic...
När jag var ute och julhandlade idag så strosade jag förbi den nya skridskobanan som de just öppnat i slutet av storgatan i vår stad. När jag var liten så åkte vi på sjöar och ganska ofta på östersjöns isar. Den här skridskobanan anno 2007 är gjord av plast...

Sunday walk

Blogmaster took a walk Sunday and enjoyed the nice weather. Our launch crane looked very lonely down by the marina. The weather was definitely sailing weather Sunday, but SWE429 is resting in the boat shed.
Blogmaster tog en promenad på söndagen och njöt av vädret. Vår kran såg verkligen ensam ut nere vid hamnen. Vädret var definitivt seglingsbart, men SWE429 står och vilar sig i båtskjulet.

Typical November weather in Sweden... 27 deg C and sunny...Not...
To brighten things up a bit I'm posting a picture from Los Angeles from about a week ago. In LA the weather was 27 deg and sunny.
Typiskt November väder här i Sverige... 27 grader och sol... Nixpix...
För att förgylla Fredagen lite så postar jag en bild från Los Angeles från förra veckan. I LA var vädret soligt och 27 grader däremot.
