If the boat moored next to you is Recluta, the famous 67’ classic ketch by Germán Frers…

Recluta was designed by Germán Frers, based on a 1942 drawing by his father, build in Argentina by master boatbuilder Tito Szyka and his team, launched as Réplica in 2021 for Frers’ personal use.
Normally, due to being a Replica, her rating is not the best and therefore she doesn’t end on the podium very often, but this time she did.
Congratulations to the podium in the Vintage Bermudian class at the # # Illes de Balears Classic regatta. .
It was an honor and big fun competing in the same class with Thea 12mR from 1918 by John Anker. A great week with perfect sailing conditions due to the mallorquín Embat. Someone could have switch es the AC on, but other than that, loved every minute of it.

A very satisfying morning DIY project. The horseshoe buoy was long overdue for replacement—the old one had turned yellowish and sticky.

After several months of waiting, the new one finally made its way to Palma. The first one got lost in transit, and the replacement took a very loooong time to arrive. Worth the wait in the end!

It’s like applying a screen protector perfectly on the first try—only better.

Happy me 💙



The task…

First try.

Measurements between the metal. Hmmm…

The final one. The Logo. A Swan. 🦢

Yesss! Not perfect but as good as it gets. 💙

Everybody loves the sunshine ☀️ just not in the midday heat on a loooong regatta course downwind…

At least makes me feel like a pro… ;o)

Congratulations to the new owners and their family of this brandnew Delta 54’. In German we wish: ‚Gute Fahrt und immer eine Handbreit Wasser unterm Kiel‘. No clue how to translate that to English.
The meaning “may you always have a hand‑breadth of water under the keel” sounds so awkward … how would you phrase it?!

It was our first christening of a Delta 54 IPS Carbon at the shipyard itself. Positively impressed by the good weather, (expecting rain and strong winds) the quality of the build and the competence of the technicians. The handover and first sea trial went very well.
Happy client, relieved me!

It is also very rewarding to see the final result after accompanying this project for almost a year and a half. Learned a lot about the details of the construction and how to manage all parties for the best possible result.

And what a boat it is — the space, the Scandinavian design and all the special features: from CZone to Sentinel to GPS positioning system.

Somehow also proud of the good result.
Grateful for all the team support at the shipyard
A pleasure to work with all of you 🩵




PS: Love the midsummer night feeling and this special light up north at this time of year.

Yanmar Dragon Gold Cup in Puerto Portals:
Today, the terral decides. 9:30 on the Bay of Palma.
SUI or GBR?!

The final chapter of the Yanmar Dragon Gold Cup is being written right now in the Bay of Palma — hosted for the very first time ever at Puerto Portals.

An amazing elite fleet of 65 Dragons competing with over 250 international sailors from 17 countries.

And the final battle comes down to those two:
🇨🇭 SUI vs 🇬🇧 GBR — separated by just half a point after one week of racing. With no DC allowed.
It doesn’t get tighter than this.

“Ginkgo Racing” (SUI), skippered by Jan Eckert, holds the top spot with 18 points, with “Louise Racing” (GBR), helmed by Grant Gordon  chasing hard o 18,5.
Every single point has been hard-earned — and every single point today will decide history.

The Race Committee moved today’s start forward to 9:30h this morning, chasing the terral breeze to make sure today’s decisive race happens. After a week where the Bay of Palma tested every crew to their limits, the Gold Cup needs to crowns its champion.

About the Gold Cup:
Born in 1937 and one of the most iconic trophies in one-design sailing, the Dragon Gold Cup has finally arrived at Puerto Portals — and it’s delivering the drama worthy of its legend.

The event is organised by Club de Regatas Puerto Portals in collaboration with the IDA, the CYCA, the Federació Balear de Vela and the Spanish Dragon Associatio.

Stay tuned for the final results.
