News from the latest Finland Regatta
Kai had this to say about the sailing Finland this time of year. “It was! It was really really cold out there - and we were sailing with summer gear - so the waiting between the races was really bad. It is practically dry suit season here in Finland now.”
Kai’s favorite photo from the regatta is this:

I uploaded few more pics there few hours ago...and there should be more to come.
http://media.plaanaa.com/v/jasenet/ that's a nice pic too with Kai and Ilkka.
I heard that our E-scow trailers that come with the boats they buy can’t be used there and I was curious to know why. Vera said US trailers do not meet street laws here. He says, the new trailer directive is pretty difficult....new parts cost over half what new trailer costs here so...
Kai is FIN-8
Me + brother V-777
Ilkka Lumme LA-8
Sakari Rinne (new team, 1st race, very lousy sails etc) SC-50
Next weekend we should get more pics with bigger fleet - I hope ;)
He finishes with this – we are desperately looking for crisp used sails...just an FYI ;) Maybe also "new" boats. We always try to keep one "extra" boat here so it's easy for new team to jump in...
