My friend Joonas called me one day in late September and asked me if I would like to join him on a roadtrip to Nordkapp, the northern most point of Europe. In his classic Porsche. I said it sounds like a dumb idea and that I love it. We took a train as far up as we could get, after which we drove through...

2020 being a vicious year, the one upside I've found is that I've had more time than ever to sail. And sail I have done. I've explored the Finnish Archipelago this summer onboard my own boat, "Lykke" as well as Sparkman & Stephens designed 40ft "PAM" and 55ft Swan "Galiana". The Baltic Sea is not well,...

During the spring 2020 lockdown I've had more than plenty of time to work on my boat and other boats I get to sail. My 1979 Botnia 6 "Lykke" has gotten a few fresh coats of varnish, plenty of minor rigging upgrades, a brand new headsail and some freshly and purposefully spliced sheets. Because of lockdown...

The boat was skippered by GGR and Whitbread legend Tapio Lehtinen, and crewed by a great mix of new and old friends. It was a wet and cold voyage via Kiel, and nearly...

ÅF Offshore Race 2019 from the perspective of S&S 40 PAM. This years race was particularly challenging with very rough seas and a record amount of boats not finishing. In heavy weather our focus was on making it around the island in one piece, and unfortunately due to some tactical errors we did not...

After 40+ hours of intense sailing through all possible weather scenarios, we managed to pull the win in our class in the 2019 Espoo-Suursaari race. PAM is a 40ft S&S designed masthead-rigged sloop from 1966, sailing out of Helsinki, Finland and skippered by Santtu Parikka. Filmed and edited by Niklas...

During the 2019 Espoo-Suursaari offshore sailing race, a line squall forms out of the blue right on top of us. We manage to get the spinnaker down, but unfortunately end up splitting the headsail in half. We were back on track in minutes after this and managed to get the win after 40+ hours of intense...
