Sometimes people say "perfect" when it's really just "ok" and maybe not quite "perfect". But today I'm not exaggerating when I say that the race conditions in Sandhamn where PERFECT. The Swedish Championships in the Express class, ORC International, Farr 30 class championship and IRC Endorsed. Fairly strong and even winds, sunshine and "Mediterranean" temperatures. We had a rough start with some start-up problems during the first race but after that we were able to stay "midfield" for the most part. Best result today 22/37 and in total 28/37, possibly better in total (pending protests, where we were luckily not involved). One t-bone between two competing boats with that uncomfortable crash sound. We made mast-2-mast contact with a competitor who because of their port side leg were forced to take an immediate penalty. This event has up until now been flawless in terms of organization. KSSS has really gone the extra mile to make this fair game. Looking forward to tomorrow. Now it's time for some dinner in Sandhamn.
Lökholmen as alwasy much more calm than Sandhamn.
Jimmy Hellberg's "Airbender" was spotted in Sandhamn. A bit dwarfed next to that other beast...
The result of a t-bone. Luckily enough we were not involved in the incident.
Express upon Express upon Express.
The beautiful Dragon class.
