Finnish Melges 24 Fleet organised yesterday a training session on waters just outside of Haukilahti harbour. This harbour is now the harbour for 6 Melges 24s. Four Melges 24s and 2 Platus were out training in excellent spring conditions - wind from SW with a velocity of 3 to 6 m/s, in blue sky and + 15 degrees. The training was lead by Arto Kiiski (fleet training manager) and Tomi Hakola (fleet chairman). Various of kinds of training were done during 4 hours, f.ex. starting manouvers, fleet racing, tacking & gybing training.
Many thanks to all crews that partisipated!
