Spontaneous trimaran get together – at minimal space


Greetings from a spontaneous (well..... it took a few phone calls to find out positions and agendas which left only a “one” day window) get together at Fåglarö in the Stockholm Archipelago.



At the dock (0,3- 1 m of water) FRA 1 (the Pagots on visit in Sweden), SUI 1 (the Reiz’ on visit in Sweden ), SWE 3 (the Grims) and SWE 4 (the “Jan-Erik Palmkvist” (co-owner together with “Mr Seaon Sweden” Mats Leader original owner of first Seaon SWE1) just having crossed the Baltic back from Finland in quite harsh conditions – the Baltic can offer nasty conditions with varying and quite steep and short wave patterns). To “glorify” the “get together” the Mr Designer Stefan Törnblom with his wife May accompanied SWE4 the last miles to the rendezvous.

Obviously the three Seaons heading north the day after engaged themselves in a spontaneous race .....with the usual discussions and explanations about spots of no wind, vacation load, sails etc. (Who won? Rumours say “the Reiz’)




A lovely day and evening in likable company and weather – it did generate energy for more!

More about trimarans in the news



Just a reminder for the Scandinavien readers - there are two recent articles out in the press. In Swedish magazine “Segling” nr 6 2008 there is an article comparing the Seaon 96, Corsair 31 , Seacart 30 and Dragonfly 920. In Danish Bådnyt June edition there is test of the Seaon 96crb.
As always we will work to be able to publicise the articles on the blog.

Wishing everyone favourable winds and a "decent" weather!
