Here is a presentation (see below) of our latest and last new regular member of Team Pro4u "Malin". Again a person with a solid and long sailing background. Pontus will take a pre-sail trim position on board. Few people in the team come in with a track record like Pontus has, he has among other things won JNM in both optimist and E- dinghy as well as JSM, JEM and JVM in Zoom8.
- Who are you?
- My name is Pontus Dahl, I am 26 years old and from this year I will be sailing headsail trim on board Team Pro4u. I have spent a large part of my life on the Baggensfjärden sailing for my mother club Boo Segelsällskap (BOOSS). I am a proud boat owner of an Albin Cumulus (as you can see in the picture), together with my brother.
- What is your sailing background?
- Like many, my sailing background is mainly in dinghy sailing with Optimist, Zoom8 and E- dinghy. In the meantime, but mainly after my dinghy venture, I have also been a coach for the national youth team in Optimist.
- Why are you joining Team Pro4u?
- I saw it as a great opportunity to get back into competitive sailing and in a format I've never sailed before. It's a great opportunity to sail with such a great and ambitious team.
- What do you hope to achieve by sailing with Team Pro4u?
- My first sub-goal is to get into my position on board Malin as well as possible. I'd still dare to call myself quick-witted and curious, so I intend to take advantage of that. Then Team Pro4u has clear goals that I really stand behind, to stand at the top of the podium when the World Championships are held in Kiel in 2023.
- Anything else you want to add?
- Trust the process and have fun along the way is something that describes me quite well. The whole team shares a true joy for the sport and I hope that all of you reading this will join us on our journey! 🙂
