Any cruiser/racer with better performance !

We are very proud with our performance in the few races we have done. Maybe its good for us that we don't do more races as our win rate would have gone done -:) .We had a very though time ahead of the last race as we found that the rig was about to come down. Massive work performed by our friends at Elvstrom Norway (www.elvstrom-sobstad.no) and some help from X-Yachts and Arve Roaas enabled us to start the race. A little bit of stress as the boat was ashore 4 ahead of the start. The great crew in HH Skagen Race were: Gjermund Lover, Morten Hansen, Kjetil Stubberud, Morten Christensen, Mads Christensen, Ole Petter Christensen, Frederik Fogstad, Asbjorn Thorup, Arve Roaas and Henning Hansen. A quite fast race with perfect conditions for piXeline.
We do look forward to the Ferder Race and to the Watski Two Star race. The boat and all equipment are in perfect shape and should be very competitive.
9 entries and 6 wins !

Hovdan Skagen Race 2005 - 2nd in class

Helly Hansen Skagen Race



Great sailing conditions for piXeline. No major hickups, perfect wheather routing performed by Mads Christensen (www.frivind.no)and as always great contribution by our sailing master, Arve Roaas. Competed with a Baltic 52 which also was our closest competitor in last year Watski Two Star.
