where to begin? I've sailed Galatea II for over 10 000 M, my father before me probably another 10 000 M all over the Baltic, parts of the North Sea, up the the near top of Norway... and raced many times in the 300 to 400M off shore Gotland Runt race. I planned to sail her across the North Atlantic from Stockholm to New York a few years ago but ended sailing a 411 from Trinidad to Perpignan France instead... So I trust her in (almost) all conditions. Most of the rig is original, the instruments are more resent. I started pushing her to go faster using Maxsea to maximize her performance. Sails helped (we have no roller furling genoa, all hank on fore sails, and a fairly rigid main. I find her interior capacity perfect for 2 maybe 3 people, and I often sail her solo. I live on her for about 6 weeks every summer so she is also a great home. I find her freeboard a bit low for rough ocean crossing, otherwise she is incredibly stable. Beating in flat sea with balanced sails I can go below and cook a meal with no autopilot. I just yesterday beat straight into 25 - 30 AWS doing over 6 kts at 30° AWA with small reef in the main and a 68% jib - smooth... what else do you want to know? |
