    Default This spring

    Now i just need the spring to come and the sea to be warmer. We have, ofc, ice-winter this year! 3 month with ice on the water, so it will take even longer time before the water is so warm that i can swim a shore if needed

    I really, REALLY want to try sail my GIS with sail......

    and happy year

    Hi Bjarne.

    Start off with the sail reefed the full amount. As you get used to the boat increase it.

    I think you were going sailing with a friend who knows sailing? Is that going to happen do you think?

    Best wishes

    I will go sailing with a friend that have sailed a lot when he were younger. So he can, i hope, teach me the basic of sailing

    And reefing sound like a very good plan

    The more I look at your boat, the more I like the color scheme. Nice, reminds me of Finland (for obvious flag related reasons) or something I'd find on the Cote D'Azure.

    Yup, so do i.
    It were all grey first, but that did not look to good, way to much light-grey, so i decided to paint the seats on another color.
