At KSSS Offshore Clinic you will learn how to sail a large boat with full crew and Shorthanded. For example, we will go through maneuvers such as jibes and flying sail changes, speed, instrument navigation, performance management, weather routing and software for tactical and strategic navigation.
If you want to be in demand as a crew at ÅF Offshore Race or do you want to start your journey towards an Ocean Race, then this training is for you.
Today we competed in the KSSS Club Championship in J/70. There were twelve teams (who ran in heats of four boats) that participated and we competed in sprint sailing and we in Team Pro4u managed to win the race and become KSSS Club Champion 2020! In the first round we were run five races and we managed to nail four of these and came second in one but it was tight at the top with several good teams. In the end it was a final race that was our worst race and we came third. However, it was enough because the results of all the sailings were counted and we won on nine points with the series: 1, 1, 1, 2, 1 and 3. Second came Ronny Gustavsson with crew of 10 points and third Christian Harding with crew with eleven points.

We thank KSSS for a very good and nice arrangement with nice sailings and brilliant autumn weather!
During the weekend we competed in the Masters champion as "Sea Racing" and we finally managed to finish fifth among 40 boats of Swedish Championship winners and national team sailors. Really fun sailing it has been even though we had hoped for more wind than the light wind we had today.

The day started with our last two all right races in the first round and two third places. Our results in the basic round were 5, 1, 2, 3 and 3. Then came the semi-final when we sailed really well and came 2nd. Finally in the final with tough competition we came 5th.
We thank the Sailing Association for a very good event and that we had the opportunity to participate!
After the first day of MM we are in 7th place after three races and we are quite OK when it comes to being in the top 16 after the basic round. Tomorrow is the first our last race in the first round and then hopefully the semifinals.
In today's first race there was light wind and we came on the wrong edge and came after immediately and had to fight us in the finish in 5th place. In the second race the wind had increased and we got to a really good race with a nail far ahead of the rest. Finally in the third race a perfectly ok sailing with a really good last county and a second place.
Let's gear up for tomorrow!
This weekend we will compete in the Champion of the Masters in Marstrand because we managed to win the Swedish Championship in Sea Racing 2019 and got a place on MM also this year as "last year's champion". The competition format is similar to Allsvenskan and you compete with J/70 boats.
There is information about the competition (live broadcast, etc.) https://www.svensksegling.se/SSFtavlingar/MastarnasMastare and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MastarnasMastare
Last year when the wind was really windy and we ran on five people in the crew, it went really well for us in "Sea Racing" and we came second in the competition of just over 40 teams. This year the forecast looks right now as there will be lighter winds this weekend.
During this weekend's MM there are actually 7 out of 8 people from the regular "Malin" team who are competing in four different boats plus Magnus from the J/70 crew is also on a 5th boat:
In total, 8 people from Team Pro4u are on and running on five different boats this weekend and we wish all these five gangs extra good luck!
Today the KSSS Indian Heat Regatta ended on Baggen with the last two races and there were two more nails for us. In total there was victory in the SRS class. The conditions for racing today were just like yesterday very good with a little more wind and partly sunny. We did two good sailings today and in especially the first sailing of the day we really found the right way on the track. There were still stable maneuvers and nice speed in the boat and the starts have generally been good all weekend!
Our series in the 6 races over the weekend was: (4), 1, 1, 1, 1 and 1 total 5 points after an excluded sailing. Second was Farr 40 Stormtrooper with 13 points and third came Farr 40 Joint Venture with 18 points.

We thank KSSS and this is a bit of our "favorite competition" and we are very happy that we were able to win the competition for the fourth year in a row! Very good courses as well as nice and knowledgeable competition management. We will be happy to come again next year!
Today we finally got to sail again at the KSSS Indian Heat Regatta and we had fantastic conditions on baggen with sun and 7 to 12 knots wind, as usual very disgusting. We have sailed well and after today's 4 races we are in the lead with the series (4), 1, 1 and 1 with a total score of 3 after an excluded sailing. In our first race we ended up completely wrong on the first cross and were far behind but managed to sail us up on the second lap to a final fourth place. Then we had three good races with good speed, stable maneuvers and good route where we managed with three nails.
Results from day 1: https://www.ksss.se/globalassets/documents/2020/resultat-fjarde-racet-srs.html
Tomorrow we hope for equally good conditions and as good tracks as today and two races are planned.
Last weekend 12-13 September we were in Hellerup, Denmark and sailed Grunndig cup in j70 where we came in 3:dje place. With fresh fromland winds, nice sailing days and a corona-adapted arrangement, we thank Hellerup Sejlklub and congratulate 1an and 2an for good sailing.
The weekend to come is the KSSS Indian Heat Regatta in Saltsjöbaden where we will participate with Malin.
