Vela de la Comunidad Valenciana

FINLYS Rating for Seanna has been calculated by the almighty LYS-committee and the result is 1.36 with Code 0, with symmetric only, the magic number would have been 0.01-0.02 less... Can't leave the most fun sail out just because of a rating, right?

Today was on another visit to the North Sails Valencia sail loft where the "Working Main" was receiving some finishing touches of TLC from Alfredo.


The sail next to the old&faithful 3DL 600 is 3Di from a RC44 where we had an evil master plan to re-cut it to be a new Main for Seanna. Unfortunately the plan did not suite the rig dimensions for Seanna, but is almost perfect for 40.7's and similar.  (PM if this is of interest, lower left column!)

Again, I have to mention that service and professonialism of this sail loft is, above and beyond what a "normal" sail loft offers! :)

Valencia is a Sailing City and below is one proof that they take this business seriously.. Drain cover from the the sidewalk close to the Marina Real Juan Carlos...


Today was a mainly "in the boat -day". Cleaned the bilge under engine, oiled bottom valves, oiled/greased the steering quadrant&wires, Changed one hose, had a beer, sprayed CRC to various places, put on new mid-level LED lighting for the saloon, re-did whipping on old genoa sheets and so on... Good night from Valencia!

(The boat looks surprisingly good from the distance, it still needs a lot off buffing and polishing)
