Tegu Sailing

It was not fun while it lasted and it was not supposed to get any better anytime soon 〰️ Royal Ocean Racing Club RET.

The hard beating and the heavy chop of the Baltic Sea took the best of us and we decided to call it a day.

Feels extremely disappointing to take the decision after pushing really hard as the smallest boat in the fleet, but the constant beating in heavy chop with all reefs already used was making us really worried about the boats capability to carry the strain. 🥺

Wishing everyone out there a safe watch! 💨💨

Thank you for the amazing footage 📷 Petri Pepe Korteniemi

But what do we actually eat on days offshore? ⛵️🍜

When you are sailing double handed, when you’re tired, wet, on watch, and cooking below feels like an extreme sport 〰️ preparation is the key!

On Tegu Sailing we’ve built a 6-day sustainable offshore meal plan + shopping list for one sailor.

🥣 Breakfasts
🍜 Two warm meals a day
🥜 Watch snacks
💧 Hydration
🌊 Rough-weather food bag

Simple goal: energy, speed, and food you can actually cook at sea.

Think porridge with peanut butter, miso noodles, lentil couscous, tomato pasta, Thai curry — and yes, enough chocolate to keep morale alive.

But food offshore is not just about performance. It connects directly to the sea we sail on.

The Baltic Sea is under pressure — and eutrophication starts on land, from the choices we make in how we produce and eat food.

That’s why one of the most powerful individual actions is also the simplest:

👉 A more plant-based / vegetarian diet reduces nutrient runoff pressure on the sea.

Small choices on land. Real impact in the water.

As sailors, we don’t just race on the Baltic — we are part of its ecosystem.

That’s why we support initiatives like Sailors For The Sea and Baltic Sea Action Group, BSAG John Nurmisen Säätiö and the Baltic Sea Challenge, bringing responsibility into offshore sailing culture.

Because if we sail it, we should protect it. 🌊💙

📸 from our vacation week tell a different story of the Dehler | Sailing sport yachts When carrying a huge amount of weight in a boat is not your go-to, a racer becomes a lovely cruiser as well. With a bonus of getting further and faster.

The week allowed us hundreds of miles sailed as well as a hundred kilometers biked and another walked/run. When staying active this is the best life possible. Garmin Suomi 🇫🇮

We have packed her into a quick getaway mode to enjoy the warm weekends before the races in August again. 💨

Did a little to prepare for the midsummer weekend in heavy wind and rain. And more rain and no wind. 💨💧💙

Been camping all our with basically same minimalistic gear that fits into a couple of bags. Boat is always cleaned after camping and no excess stuff is left to pile up in the boat.

And where to pile up, when there are no cabins to hide your stuff. Anyways, it’s nice to have a small fridge to go and we try to prep somewhat well for easy vegetarian meals that can be made with one stove and food thermos.

Gained a lot of downwind sailing in fresh and not so fresh breeze. Slept well and wondered around in the rainy archipelago. Water is still cold and weather as well.

Geared up with new drysuits from Musto 〰️ to keep the rain and the ocean away from the skin. Would have been a bad time without them.

Finished the weekend with some first aid to another boats halyards at our home port in

☀️💨Enjoy your summer!

And so it finally ends. 🥶➡️😎

What seemed like an overwhelming period of dark long nights at the boatyard has finally turned into a fresh sailing season.

The project almost got the best of us. And some furry friends 🐶 even gave up at the final stretch. So tiring it was.

But now. The bottom is as smooth as a baby’s cheek and the foils are screaming in orange, hard to miss even if the ocean gets murky at times.

Thank you for making the working conditions more bearable and for all the flexibility and the professionalism during the bottom work.

What lies ahead us is a summer of sailing. Focusing on long distance racing and hopefully just some ocean love 🌊 cruising the Baltics.

We will continue to sail with and prepared to

Do you think we will see the bottom work in sailing speed? In Finnish we have this saying about tuning your 🏍️ if it didn’t get much slower during the process – it can be considered as a success 🤩🤩
