This winter I will expermient with carbon and use my newly bought vacuum pump.
The first project we try, are new larger carbonbeams for my ventilo. Next thing will be a carbonrail / rack with footsstraps, mayby also a snuffer and then it will be spring again :-)

Besides that, will go for skiing and mountaineering, do some climbing in a gym (this one of the best trainings for sailing, without going to sail ;-) ) After a winter of climbing in the gym, you can hold the sheets for ever, as this strenghtens the lower arms.
