club races

For this summer our team has decided to participate weekly club races in our own club Koivusaaren Pursiseura.

Season started quite well when we finished 8 out of 22. This gave the team some confidence for future races.

Today the story was not that good. We got difficulties after the second jibe. Sail went round the forestay and we needed to lift Immu up in the mast to get the sail down. At this point this weeks competition was over.

shit happens,

We welcome our sponsors!

As you can see, there have been some changes on our website. The major change from now one is that I`ll be writing in English (sorry for that). The reason for this is that we have successfully closed our sponsor deals for the season 2008.

We can proudly say that the worlds biggest betting company Ladbrokes has decided to promote their product via us. This is a perfect opportunity for both parties and closing the deal means a boost for our campaign. In the near future you can see X-Dream changing her colours. We have also made a sponsor deal to promote Foster`s – beer. They`ll be in charge of the good times in the boat especially inshore. Welcome!

On behalf of the team I want to thank our new partners.

Uusi kausi uudet kujeet


Kausi 2008 alotettiin vauhdikkaasti. Vene purjehtii nyt virallisesti KoPu:n väreissä ja uusia purjeita on ja lisää on tilattu. Ensimmäinen purjehdus suuntautu Inkooseen, mutta kevyiden kelien takia ei päästy nauttimaan veneen täydestä potentiaalista. Ensimmäisissä tiistaikisoissa porukka oli yhtä vaille täysi ja meno vaikutti jo lupaavalta. Manööverit hioutuu varmasti kauden aikana, mutta meni jo kohtuullisesti. Vähäisen osallistujamäärän takia poimittiin kivasti 3 sija isossa luokassa ja kivasti pisteitä kauden avauksessa.
