It seems that the Royal House did in fact notice that Sweden won the Olympic Star gold not so long ago.

Konungens medalj”, which roughly is translated as “The Medal of His Royal Highness the King”. The ceremony…

Sailing is a sport that relies heavily on equipment. Sure, it’s the athletes that do the hard work on the race course. But if their gear is inferior compared to their competitors’ stuff, it is next to impossible to succeed on the Olympic level.

Finn dinghy Olympic gold medal was pretty close!

Here at WB-Sails, we live and breathe racing. In fact, the loft was founded after we realized that we need better sails for our own campaigns. Since 1975 a lot has been learned and many things have changed, but the principle of hard work – blood, sweat and tears – remains.
