This year's Champagne Regatta was real Champagne sailing today.
Bit of wind and blue sky. A few more boats would have been fun, but maybe next time around?

A big day for all of us. After 17 years in the helm, the true gentleman Hannu Kähönen, has kindly offered us Minna Lampinen & Sami Lampinen the opportunity to continue the wonderful saga of s/y Katrina. Designed by Gösta Kyntzell, Katrina is manufactured in 1939 by Wilenius båtvarv ry in Porvoo, Finland. She earns a K-certificate as a classic heritage boat. Katrina's sail number is FIN-14 (originally L-8)..........

Uusi lehti kääntyy. Oltuaan 17 vuotta Katrinan pinnassa, todellinen herrasmies Hannu Kähönen on hyväksynyt meidät Minna ja Sami Lampisen jatkamaan s/y Katrinan ainutlaatuista tarinaa. Gösta Kyntzellin suunnittelema 8mR -luokan Katrina on rakennettu Wileniuksen telakalla Porvoossa vuonna 1939. Katrinalle on myönnetty K-merkintä merkiksi kulttuurihistoriallisesta veneestä. Katrinan purjenumero on FIN-14 (alunperin L-8).
