Kayak Sailing, Svärdsfjärden, Oct 22nd

Kayak sailing for a couple of hours on Svärdsfjärden, with the regular starting point on Torö, and a lunch break on a small island.. More wind would have been fun, but with this leaner kayak, one still has to be rather vigilant with leaning and paddle support..

Kayaking, Svärdsfjärden, 15th of May

Kicking of a new kayaking season with a new folding kayak, a black and white Nautiraid Narak.. First impressions very positive, fairly easy assembly, lively and fast in the water.. Paddled for a few hours on Svärdsfjärden from Torö Stenstrand, passing a couple of islands and sounds with a lunch stop on Kolguskär..

Kayak Sailing, Svärdsfjärden

First trial run on Svärdsfjärden with the new folding sailing rig from Kayaksailor.com.. With winds from the south of 6-9 m/s with some gusts likely above 10 m/s, it was a fairly challenging start.. But all went well without any capsizing despite a few interesting moments.. Downwind performance quite impressive and sailing upwind worked fine also after I figured out how to balance the daggerboards for best rudder efficiency..

Kayaking, Svärdsfjärden & Konabbsfjärden

24 hour paddle in the southern archipelago, again with a loaner from Avanza in wait for my own Kahuna that will arrive within a few weeks.. on Saturday afternoon a loop up in Svärdsfjärden with early camp on the way back south on Kolguskär.. Dark skies but moderate wind.. Started to rain during the night with increasing wind.. On Sunday the wind was blowing from north-west at around 8-10 m/s, creating nice surfs on the way south-east.. Headed over to Konabbsfjärden for lee, rained a lot the whole day..
