What have we learned. In heavy winds, – and we had plenty of, – leading mainsail, tombstone, jib and jib are '' lady '' a little too luvgerrig. There is therefore among the crew a great desire for a new, larger jib. And, – and so it should be a red. We'll see what the future holds.
Communication can also be improved, – it feels at times as far from the aft deck to the front deck.
There are evaluated the trip d. 4. Oct.
PS: After we had won a trophy in the first race and the ship lacks a trophy shelf, was kept a sharp lookout around the ship experienced carpenter. Was it possible to obtain '' elder '' on the trip and there was wood shavings on the deck in the morning ? But the carpenter has promised to make a new trophy shelf over winter, because as he says: There will need it in 2013.
