After what feels like weeks of waiting, we are finally putting some miles under the keel again. We're on our way to Guna Yala (the San Blas islands), sailing upwind along the North coast of Panama. We haven't done a great deal of upwind sailing on this voyage so far, but that's about to change - Antigua is 1000 miles directly upwind, and the Caribbean trade winds are strong, squally, and often bring big seas. Today is good practice for us, beating into a relatively comfortable 15 - 18 knots with moderate seas, 2 reefs in, 5 - 6 kn boat speed, and ironing out all sorts of little issues that come up.

Dag Bjorneset's Halberg Rassy 312 FRYD sailing with tri-radial sails made with Dimension/Polyant's CXI polyester laminate. Notice how well the genoa holds its shape. Dag shot this video off the Kosterfjord which is near the border of Norway and Sweden. Dag wrote that he is a happy UK Sailmakers customer.
