Jan-Petter and his crew aboard the Dehler 36 "Fri av Fjærholmen" secured their fourth victory in the Hollænder'n regatta.0:19 The team attributes their long-term success to a stable, cohesive crew that has remained largely unchanged for over a decade, combined with consistent training during weekly Wednesday regattas at Fjærholmen.0:47 To maintain the performance of the older design, the team invests in advanced Elvstrøm sails and optimizes weight distribution and ballasting.3:31 During the recent race, which saw winds reaching 12–13 meters per second and two-meter seas, the crew maintained a western course to stay in the lee of islands and minimize wave impact.4:20 They executed a headsail change from a genoa to a number three jib near Hortenskraken and utilized a durable, older spinnaker in heavy conditions before switching to a modern sail near Rævør.5:42 The skipper emphasizes that the boat’s heavy displacement requires a steady course on downwind legs rather than the aggressive carving maneuvers used by modern, lighter vessels.6:21
