Notes
- L-8 the original sail number - 12.08.2009 by Camilla Ekholm
- Just a quick note, that the original sail number for Ariane IV has been L-8. The sail number L-8 was maintained until 1998 when the sails were renewed. Could you correct that in the details?
One addition to the ownership history: during years 1997-2007 the boat has been owned by a Finnish family Marttila. - Message and photos received from Camilla Ekholm, 29.08.08 - 14.05.2009 by Site Administrator
- The boat's home is in Helsinki, in Suomenlinna fortress island, in sailing club SuPS (Suomenlinnan Pursiseura).
We just won silver - with a little bit of luck - in the biggest Finnish classic sailing boat competition in Viaporin Tuoppi, unfortunately both Figaro and Norna were both having accidents;(
Here is a late picture from June.
Kind regards,
