June Trip to Europe

During my holiday for a friends wedding in Europe, I found time to include visiting my old friend, who lives near a fjord in Denmark.  We went sailing on his 30ft Danish keel boat, in great spring weather.

Its an old IOR design from early 80's called a Albin Ballad, with fin keel, and massive furling headsail with big overlap.

We saw 6.5 knots upwind on the speed log, and 8 on a reach!
