Matador Sail Racing Team

Two Firsts for Matador!
First time sailing in Estonia and first time competing in the ORC World Championships. 🇪🇪🇪🇪⛵

Today featured a practice race and a great opening ceremony, setting the stage for tomorrow’s 211 NM offshore race that will officially open the championship.

Racing will continue throughout the week, with the final races taking place on Saturday. We know the Baltic Sea well, but this corner is new to us and we’re psyched to finally race here against some fierce competition in ORC Class A. 💪

Matador premiered in North Sail Offshore Clinic last weekend with a 🥇 in ORC. Windy and cold - but lovely to be back on the water after a loooooong looooooong winter

Desperately seeking a new head sail foil. A Harken Carbo Foil unit 3 - 22 meter. Our head sail foil was unfortunately damaged in the early part of the season.

We could not find a new Harken foil and we've heard they have had quality problems from production and that production is currently not active, so we got a replacement foil from Tuff Luff (Aero) which unfortunately had parts of it that broke away from the forestay during our third race of the season.

As we currently have problems finding a new (or used) foil, we can not race until we've managed to find a replacement so if you have one - or know someone who has one - new or used, we would be very happy to buy it. Please DM me in case you can help us getting back out on the water. Br Jonas
