June 17, 2024 | As we are waiting for the northerly winds, the crew has been working on line handling this morning. The crew has successfully set both the tri sail, storm jib, and the spinnaker pole on the dock. Having this time to work on setting sails has provided the crew the opportunity to learn the orientation of FALKEN and how to safely handle lines. Setting the sails went smoothly, and the crew worked great together. - Athena

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.
