SM's sea race - 8th place

Last night at 20 o's started the Swedish Championship's sea race and the planned track was about 50 nm. However, the wind decreased during the night so the track was shortened. We came in 8th place in the race and unfortunately we misjudged the weather situation on the long crosses to Dämban and we did not think it would blow closer to land which it later turned out that it would do. Instead, we ended up in very light winds and low speed for a long time and lost a lot of on this. In addition to the miscalculation we made, which was costly, we also sailed relatively well even though we made some other mistakes as well.

Won made Finnish X41 Mercedes with a again very impressive sailing and they lead the regatta completely ahead of us in second place. However, we still lead the Swedish Championship after three sailings with series 1, 2 and 8 on a total of 11 points.

Results after three races: ORCi SM Results

Today the Swedish Championships continue with a planned course sailing and then the competition ends tomorrow. Half the competition is still there and a lot can happen. If there are more than five races, you will also be able to calculate a course sailing, the sea sailing must not be counted away.
