This weekend I took part in the final Nordic Cup race of the year, in SaltsjÃ¶baden just south of Stockholm. 28 competitors showed up and we sailed 9 races on Saturday and about 5-6? more on Sunday. Saturday was a very wet day with light to heavy rain the whole day. We started in no2 rig and switched to no1 for the later races. Sunday saw the wind coming from an unfortunate direction over a hill with wild shifts and gusts as a result - frustrating racing at times...

Nothing new under the sun when it comes to the results, Torvald Klem won, 2 points in front of SÃ¶ren Andresen, and myself third, 2 points after SÃ¶ren.

No pictures from this event as Saturday was too wet for photography and I tried my best to concetrate on the sailing on Sunday... If anyone has photos, please send me them and I'll gladly post them!

Results and pictures are likely to appear on www.iom-nordic.org in a few days.

Noux Reduced Shadows

I've had a couple of requests for reduced shadows for the Noux by people wanting to home-build the boat using planking or other methods. Here are the lines with 1-6mm offset from the outer hull surface. A DXF file is attached to the pdf, click the small paper-clip next to the text to save the DXF as a separate file

Quantum, a successful Finnish Marblehead

QuantumÂ was a Finnish Marblehead designed by the team of Henry Ericsson, Christian Lindholm, and Olof GinstrÃ¶m for the 1991 European Marblehead Championships which were held in Hanko, Finland.

In this Frisk Bris article from 1991 Heffe describes the rationale behind the design and the building process.

RC-Pot recess for Noux

I'm really happy that we now have the whole chain from drawing (far left), into CAD/CAM andÂ cnc millingÂ (middle left) making high-tolerance (well, almost...) parts (middle right), which can be used as moulds for Noux components (far right). With some effort and determination you can now go from concept drawing to finished part in one weekend.
