So, Artisan and us survived this year’s Rund Bornholm Race:

This was our first offshore-race and I am very glad that me managed to finish it without any larger problems or even injuries or damages. I can only recommend this:
The race is well-organized, the community is nice and obviously it is one of the few offshore-races in Germany.  For me it was a very valuable experience ranging from boat-handling over to tactics and to just living on board without touching any land for a couple of days.

Many thanks to the team who organized this!

The nice photo above showing Artisan during the start was by the way taken by Pepe Hartmann who does brilliant sailing shots. Look here for more.
