A really good day of sailing today although the weather was so so. Strong (and luckily enough even) winds and certainly not sunny like yesterday. We had a good day on Express 978 and where actually in second position right before the windward mark in race three but dropped down to 17th. On average 20th position today (36 boats in total) and overall standing for us 25th. The trend is in other words positive and maneuver-wise we actually had a pretty flawless race which was somewhat surprising given the limited time for training that we've had - and the strong winds. It's also interesting to observe the more "vocal" mark roundings further up the field where competition is more fierce and the crews use every possibility to use an opening (and holler profanities to competiting boats when it gets too tight).
Having "Josefin" as tender boat is very luxorious compared to SM 2009 where we slept in tents. Good spirit onboard and now time for a nap. Tomorrow is the final day with only one race.
Strong winds outside Sandhamn during today's race.
36 boats on the starting line today. Only one false start (entire field called back) and just one DSQ these two days.
