More than anything else the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination." Wilbur Wright

Emma and Magnus have left and have kindly written a report on their three weeks training here.

Oh to live in Europe :) .

Christmas vacation in Dubai
A few days before Christmas we left snow and -17 degrees in Stockholm for almost three weeks of great sailing in Dubai.
The venue at Dubai Offshore Sailing Club (DOSC) offered fantastic moth-conditions with nice breeze, comfortable air and water temperature, easy beach launching, good food and beer at the relaxed club restaurant and most importantly extremely friendly and helpful local sailors (expats). Thanks a lot to all of you!
The fact that the wind usually didn’t fill in until after lunch gave us some opportunity to explore the rest of Dubai with its extraordinary buildings, palm-islands and gigantic shopping malls.

We’re now back in snowy Stockholm but are already longing for our return to Dubai and the Moth Worlds. For those of you who hesitate about going to the worlds, we highly recommend you to sign up, it will be a great event!

See you in March!

Emma & Magnus

On another note, big props to the whippet Chris Steele on winning the splash worlds in new Zealand. Get on a real boat dude!

    Don’t worry about Chris, Won the Splash Worlds – flew the next day to Christchurch for Starling (Under 19 local class) Nationals, then two days after that regatta the Laser Radial Nationals, next after that he will get his Ass Ass In and get out training with Kev myself and the others here in Kiwi Land!
