Veler El•la is a community group on Facebook based in Barcelona who built an example of the sailing version of of my Ella skiffs, and now sail it in stages along the coast of Taragonna. This week they even called for folks to put their hand up to sail her for a day – hopefully I got that right as I don’t speak that language and we can’t trust the online translators!
Here are some photos of what I take to be the first leg of this year’s voyage, mixed in with some great harbour shots from her launch last year. Thanks for the photos folks!
Hi, Gavin. Don’t worry, you don’t speak catalan, but your translations are right! Maybe you can come down in Catalunya to sail El·la and learn some catalan words 😉 Only one thing to correct: we are not based in Tarragona; the most part of us lives in Barcelona area. All the pictures are taken in Tarragona because we started the travel in the South, in order to get better winds to sail along the coast.
Thanks Xavier! What a nice idea – it’s only a shame I have to go to work so much! Gavin
