Sailmakers - Sojana Storms Across The Atlantic
Peter Harrison's Farr 115 SOJANA
recently made the 2600 mile crossing from Gran
Canaria to Barbados in 9 days, 10 hrs.Skipper
Marc Fitzgerald mentioned 'we took it pretty conservatively,
we could have taken a day off if we pushed'
SOJANA is a lovely yacht, with incredible luxuries
on board including an amazing surround sound system,
and a plasma screen the size of a large window
to provide movie and TV entertainment on board.
UK Sails have produced 4 sails for SOJANA, and
received this e-mail as she started her crossing
:
JB,
Put the Gennaker straight to work. It has seen
30kts true and 22 knots boatspeed already, and
says "Bring it on!"
Spin. staysail is still in the bag, but might
get a run this pm if the wind veers as forecast.
Must get back to chasing the 350 mile day.
The 22 knot top boatspeed was later bettered to
24.6 knots in 35 knots of true windspeed.
SOJANA is currently preparing for the Mega Yacht
Regatta which will be sailed in Antigua from 9th
to 12th April.
For more information about the sails for this
magnificent yacht please call us.
