S/Y Linnea

Now we are trying to enjoy sailing Linnea as much as possible before taking her up for some more interior construction during winter. It is important to get some energy from having fun with the boat and to learn how she behaves.

Yesterday we went out five adults, Ida, 6 and Joel, 2. Everything went smooth, even though the wind is a bit gusty here in the inner skerries of Stockholm.

The boat worked great with this many people aboard thanks to the large deck space. We anchored out in Napoleonviken for lunch and a swim - the high bow was made to dive from, but Per had to do it from the yard… Ricards mother, Eva and Göran came to take some pictures and video while we headed back.

Lessons learned: None. We were just sailing.

Reaching.

Running.

Anchored.

Ida learns how to climb up the yard.

Ida and Cia. Here is a perfect place for children to sit and have a look out.

Today my parents took the boat by themselves and made about the same trip. I was a bit nervous until they were back at the jetty. Stupid me, they taught me how to do this.
