Gotland Runt 2008
Gotland Runt went quite well. We finished 30rd out of 87 boats. The crew worked well through out the whole race. We did one major tactical failure when we sailed further away from Gotland on the first morning and another on the way back to Almagrundet when we chose to sail on West side of the track. Weather did not suite our boat well because there was no chance to use spinaker more than 1 hour. Even though we learned allot and did a complete and good race. The boat is now back in Hanko for more serious racing.
Pictures are coming...

On our way to Gotland Runt 2008
Hi to all,
After serious problems with the engine earlier in the week (we lifted the boat up in Skogsby and changed the engine) the boat is now in Sandhamn ready to start on Sunday.
Half of the crew flies to Sweden on Saturday and joins rest of the crew there. You can follow the results on http://www.adimoserver.se/adimo4/site/gotlandrunt/web/

Volvo Suursaari Race 2008
The biggest finish sailing regatta starts tomorrow. The crew is really exited and enjoys the gained experience from last weekend. In the last start we finally found the right boat speed.
This weekends race http://volvosuursaarirace.fi/
we start at 21:20 along with the open class. Let`s see when we reach the others. heh Wind should be relatively light so we prepare our selves to finish during Sunday afternoon.
The boat is in good condition as you can see from the new colours in hull and boom. The Danish genoa works well and the crew has new uniforms for the weekend. Here some pictures from last weekend

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.
