Finally on our way to Getfoten for (arguably) the most expensive cheese burger in the whole archipelago - 160 SEK, but it was definitely worth it.
North Sails is obviously common place in a race like this.
Pre-start meeting to go through anything from security to start times.
All hands off deck.
Gransegel is obviously also an important provider of racing sails.
Preparations for day 1.
Nils Virving in his NF "Borta med vinden" ran a great race and ended up overal runner-up (to be added to last year's overall win...). Impressive!
One of our competitors from NBS - Albin Stratus "Islay".
Winning boat R5 "Apriori" skippered by Jan Gustafsson - congratulations!
Getting tuned up for start.
Former Birdie 24 (today a "miniton" after all her modifications) "Skalet" before the race day 1.
XQC had a tough start day one and had to send a crew member up top of the mast (most likely because of a faulty main halyard or shackle). They managed to hoist the sail again within only a few minutes and lost a minimal amount of time through the process - really strong team work!
Competition ahead...
Hansson 31 "Ushuaia"
A pretty sight towards Saxarfjärden.
One of many battles...
Some choose to sail with spinnakers, wheras other do just fine without.
At least a few Dehlers in this year's race.
Clearly the biggest spinnaker I've ever seen on a Passad.
The NBS club island (Gällnö) packed with boats after day 1.
Light winds during the start day 2.
"Miss Conduct" with her characteristic fat head main.
Banner 28 "Flying Banner" getting ready for battle day 2.
As usual very tight and crowded when leaving Lökholmen.
As beautiful as it gets...
X102 "Tucana" before the start day 3.
One of several Smaragds to participate.
And the winner is...
Great boatspeed after lighthouse "Svängen"
The crew of "Kind of Blue" (minus the photographer) making plans for the final day.
Boats pretty much everywhere at "Biskopsö".
