Hi everyone, this time something completely different. I met Erik here in Torshavn and got a chance to get a tour of his boat. He's a really nice and humble guy, and if you're not familiar with him already then you should check out his channel, he creates some of the best sailing content out there. Hope you find this tour and our talk interesting!

We are sorry we missed Erik just by a few days in Torshavn. Hopefully there will be a next time. As for reefing, having had both systems, I prefer going to the mast to get the deed done. I found when led back to the cockpit inevitably something jammed and I had to make a quick trip forward anyhow. If dealing with reefing at the mast everything is right there to deal with as necessary. Really enjoyed your interview with Erik.

I have been following Erik Aanderaa for years. Its navigations are fascinating. I look forward to his next videos.

Aye, this is a very, very good tour of a boat. To tell about functions and purpose and expected advantage of each system makes it even more interesting. Erik seems to be very humble and nice. I hope I can share some bears with him sometime. And even more I hope to be able to share with you guys. Cheers 🍻

I have also been following Erik for some time. I always felt that Juho and Erik had a lot in common, so it's great to see them meet up.

This is very nice and I have seen almost all Eriks video’s. For instance about the emergency steering and that he couldn’t grab it easily. Thanks juho for making this movie. Nice to see also during our bad weather stay at Varberg. Lots of wind and rain but free WiFi 👌

The discussion of the two head sails (jib and genoa) and how it helped lower the center of gravity of the boat and stabilized Erik's boat in the North Sea swells was really informative as well as the other discussions. Great interview Juho. Thanks for sharing! P.S. you might consider making this interview for public show unless Erik prefers you to keep it local to your Patreon.
