Biggest Sail Boat Show in Northern Europe
Our new Heyman 34 Sport was shown at the Boat Show in Ellös a few weeks ago. We had visitors from near and far – Norway, Finland, Germany and (obviously) Sweden.
There was a flattering interest in the new boat. For some, the new 34 was the attraction of the show and the reason they went there.

A Week Later, Sailing South
From Ellös, the 34′ Sport was sailed south, through Marstrand

Racing 12-Metres
Turns out the classic Twelves were racing again – this image is from a couple of years ago, showing Olin Stephens-designed ‘Vim’, built in 1939:

Now here she comes, again having just won the race on Saturday, September 3, 2022 – and the harbour is getting a bit crowded with the 12s finishing under spinnaker:
