Moderated Suwalki Gap update: DUO 800


 

For those who follow Suwalki Gap standoff - here my little contribution to the safety of the world. An airborne transport and water landing of a highly specialised craft.

Hi Olek

The difficult way to get a DUO 800 in the water.
Was there no ramp?
In any case, the boat can fly high ;-))
Have fun and good sailing

Cheers

Bernd


 

Hi Olec and all
?
Thank you for posting this video.?
Building or restoring a boat is one side of the fun.
Mmm, fun. The construction of a boat is not only fun but also hard work.?
An achievement when the boat is at last in the water.
And now the real fun starts, enjoying your hard work.?
This group is not only about the construction of a boat,
but also about sharing sail experiences.
So everybody is invited to tell us about their experiences,
scary and fun moments. Send us photos and videos.
We do not expect high standards of video work or photographic work.?
And yes, it can encourage others to go on and finish their projects.

Cheers

Mazury - or jeziora mazurskie - infrastructure is good for monohulls. I failed to find ramp of sufficient width.
Otherwise - great space for a few days sailing. Countless ports, bays, islands and plenty of friendly people.

Cheers

Hi Olek

I expected something like that. Good that the boat is so light.
Where is it precise you are sailing? Is it the haff on the Baltic sea?
I hope you show us pictures and videos? from your journey

Cheers

Bernd


 

Hi, a good method is to also go to a gently sloping beach and launch with rollers, You can also wait for a tide to come in. Enjoy your boat.

Wielkie Jeziora Mazurskie or Mazurian lakes, it's about 3,5 hours drive from Warsaw. And I need to be close by due to a familly situation.?


 

Now I get it. Yes, that is a big and beautiful sail region.
Be aware of Kaliningrad ;-))
I think, I understand

Snow covered boat sailing to its winter storage!
How do you like this:



and this?

Hi Aleksander

Bringing the boat home?

Looks nice but a bit too cold for me.

Thanks for posting.

Cheers

Bernd


 

Very cool (literally). Your sailing season lasts much longer than ours. The lakes are covered with ice and this morning the temperature with the wind chill factored in is -24C.
