First Boat Home: Patrik Heinrichs Wins the Green Course
Patrik Heinrichs has won the reduced 66 NM Green Course with his Esse 850 Jynx, crossing the finish line in Nyborg at 02:38:22. And what a performance. Heinrichs sailed the race singlehanded, yet managed to keep the whole doublehanded fleet behind him. Even more remarkable is the boat he did it in. At just 8.5 metres, Jynx is a compact performance boat that was essentially designed for sailing on the Swiss lakes. He was neck to neck with the 8 foot longer Beneteau First 36 wh

A Nordic Dark Christmas GreetingFrom Vegvisir Race 2026
December has its own rhythm. Long nights, kind of cold air, rain, some times snow, the kind of darkness where even a Vegvisir could use a Vegvisir ... Perfect conditions to think about next year’s adventure. While most people wrap gifts, we wrap up spreadsheets, route notes and harbour plans. And somewhere between the winter coffee and the navigation charts, the 2026 fleet keeps growing: 77 boats and 141 sailors now on the list. Santa sails fast - and also delivers Vegvisir
