Champagne Sailing to San Blas!
Perfect sailing conditions from Cartagena, Columbia to the San Blas Islands. 15-20 knots on the beam, 8+ knots over the ground. 1 reef in the main and full Yankee, Falken is a real joy to sail.Great team effort on the pilotage out of a busy port and challenging entry into San Blas
So good to finally get out on Falken after visiting her in Gosport back in 2023. Perfect sailing conditions from Cartagena, Colombia to the San Blas Islands. 15-20 knots on the beam, 8+ knots over the ground. One reef in the main and full Yankee—Falken is a real joy to sail. Great team effort on the pilotage out of a busy port and a challenging entry into San Blas, coming through reefs and shallows. Sensibly planned in daylight and hopefully with bright sunlight. Starry skies, Southern Cross, Milky Way, phosphorescence, and champagne sailing. What’s not to love? Dave

Sail Training!
By Alex. FALKEN Skipper | After a windless night drifting between Santa Catalina and San Clemente Islands, we finally managed to find the wind! As soon as the breeze filled in, Adam had just wrapped up his great lesson on boat-keeping and manuals,

Sail Training!
By Alex. FALKEN Skipper | Yesterday we left Ensenada at around 08:30 in the morning. It was sunny and you could barely feel any wind in your face. We went through the process of hoisting sails and straight away we dived into reefing drills followed by tacking. After 6 reefs and 12 tacks, we decided to settle into the watch system and embrace the night.
