50th Rolex Fastnet Race - one month until vital registration opens! 1200 UTC 11th January 2023: this time should be double underlined in the calendar of those wishing to enter next year’s Rolex Fastnet Race, as it will be the moment when registration officially opens for the 50th edition of the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s flagship event. Just like Glastonbury tickets when they go on sale, registration opening prior to recent editions of the Rolex Fastnet Race have seen available places snapped up within just a few minutes. In the last pre-pandemic edition of the biennial Rolex Fastnet Race in 2019, the entry capacity was reached in just four minutes and 37 seconds - 13 seconds outside the record time set two years earlier. With next year’s edition of the world’s largest offshore yacht race marking a special anniversary, demand is expected to be higher than ever, with more than 450 expected on the start line, ranging from maxi monohulls and multis to 30ft club racers and cruisers and everything in between. Entries are available on a ‘first come-first served’ basis and any late comers beyond the RORC’s limit will be placed on a waiting list. #RolexFastnetRace #RORCracing
🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [4/52] 🪢 This little life saver got to join us onboard when Marcus sold his old boat. There we had used it because we didn’t have an oven so at first we were a bit hesitant if we would need it or not in Linnea. But you can bet we are glad that we brought it! Sailing in the tropics, most people put off using the oven as it heats up the already hot boat. But using this Omnia instead, makes everything so much easier! It also means we don’t have to worry as much about the gas supply as it does not use nearly as much gas as the built in oven. Extra tip, if you want to use it both for cooking and baking, make sure you get two silicone inserts.. Otherwise your cakes might end up tasting like potatoes 🥔 Been there done that… Sponge cake: 3 eggs 2 dl sugar 100 g butter 1 dl milk 3 dl wheat flour 2 tsp baking soda 1 tbsp vanilla powder 1. Whisk sugar and eggs really fluffy. 2. Melt the butter. Pour the milk into the melted butter and then stir it into the egg/sugar mix. 3. Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and then put them into the egg/sugar mix and stir gently until smooth. 4. Put it into the Omnia oven. Turn on the stove, we use the small burner on lowest heat and bake the cake for 50 min. 5. Let the cake rest for ten minutes before taking it out of the silicone form. This is a classic vanilla sponge cake. For extra flavour you could add things like chocolate or lemon. Ps, this is not sponsored, we just really like our oven!
