This is the virtual log book of the adventures of S/Y Lorelei. It is a Finn Express 83, a small sailing yacht designed by the finnish designer Eivind Still in the 1980's. The boats were constructed in the period of 1981-1986. They are considered a very reliable and fast design, and this individual survived 70 kts storm winds as a real-world test.

"You couldn't see that life is only given to those who cry, to those who love, and have been loved. And if you refuse yourself to passion, you will lose yourself to madness"
