Hello, sailors!<\/p>\n
Have a good year! Dream a “big” and babystep it trough. One of my new year promises is to add\u00a0one entry per month to\u00a0the Famous microcruisers<\/a> page. This means that by the end of 2016 I should have written twelve entries for that page. Sounds like an excellent plan, does it not. All other relevant posts about Kvark will still come trough as additional\u00a0material. Anyhow, I start off January with Hugo Vihlen and his world record North Atlantic crossings on the extremely small 1.8 m April Fool<\/em> and 1.6 m Fathers Day<\/em>. The latter should still hold as the world record for the shortest sailboat to cross the North Atlantic. The boat was shorter than the sailor. April Fool is equipped with a seatbelt enabled seat for keeping the sailor in place\u00a0in rough weather. Something to concider for Kvark as well. Have a good read and leave a comment!<\/p>\n Hugo Vihlen on Fathers day after crossing the Atlantic in 1993.
