2 inches of snow today

Snow and around 0 degrees C or 32,5 F here in Nyköping today.
Spring feels a long way off on a day like this...
To remind you of the days to come, I found this nice picture of my brother sailing his 6mR SWE37 "Räven". Räven is residing in France now.

Thank you Schneider Electric/Thorsman

Thank you Thorsman for the crane and telfer.

Before we started the Nykoping Fleet

I took this picture in 2004, 1.5 year before I bought my 2.4mR.
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

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.
Pubkvällen ser ut att bli nästa vecka.

Pubkväll

Hej på er 2.4mR seglare!

Vi planerar en pub kväll under vecka 8 eller 9. Hör av er till blogmaster angående vilken kväll som passar bäst. Temperatur på -7grader ikväll. Sommaren känns fortfarande långt borta, men en titt i almanackan visar att det går framåt med stormsteg. Redan vecka 6 denna vecka.

Välkomna på Pubkväll.

Invitation to sail from Petrus in Tranås

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?
mvh petrus

New Year, soon we will be sailing again

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!

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

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

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

Blogmaster will attend the Nyköping Yacht Clubs yearly meeting tomorrow night.
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.

Petrus Stradivari project

Things are looking really good in Tranås. Petrus Stradivari project shows great progress since last week. Ring frames and floatation foam installed.
Petrus also plans to build Hasse Malmsten's plywood project before the 2009 season starts.

My brother´s old 6mR sailing in France

Posting a picture of 6mR SWE37 Räven sailing in France.

Nyköpings 2.4mR blir Oxelösund's 2.4mR?

Breaking News!

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.
Länk till OXSS hittar ni här: OXSS

Hela flottiljen har fått tycka till och är positiva till en övergång.
OXSS satsar på en kran till sin 606 flottilj som även skulle kunna användas till 2.4mR.

Stradivari right side up!

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

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!
