We've crossed over from Lofoten to the Traena archipelago, it's a very exposed bit of sea but as you can see we had excellent weather and flew the spinnaker almost all the way.

I'm curious about those of you who have a spinnaker or other downwind sail onboard, how often do you use it? I'm thinking of making a video of spinnaker handling while cruising. I sometimes fly the spinnaker even when solo sailing, but as you might know it can be a royal pain in the butt. Even though I'm quite confident with it I still only use it couple times per season..

I try to use the spi and gen as much as possible. Even when sailing solo. Develop a procedure, train it, so you don’t forget or change steps when the circumstances get more demanding. Each time when a problem occurs, the cause seems not following the procedure. Anyway. Good luck over there. I enjoy your vids and pics!

I would enjoy a spi video when you have time. Side note- when you climb up and ski down, is that a “once in a day event” or are you able to climb up multiple times.
