J-24 World Championship 2010 in Malmö - Final results from Swedish Open and BS Lagunen in Malmö

Yesterday me and Hugo from Australia were watching the races from land in Västra hamnen. A rainy day and the summer was all of a sudden gone. It looked like the current played a vital role yesterday. Seemed to be around around 1 knot.
Team Front Runner in SWE 4896 with Per-Håkan Persson convinced by winning race 7 yesterday. Really fun to see that their efforts starts to pay off in results.
The brittish team with Ian Southworth, GBR 4265, had an uneven series but some real nice results. One of the top crews definetly.

It´s always easier to sail with the top boats than being further down in the fleet. Let´s stay there Per-Håkanand Team Front Runner. ;-)Mike Ingham US finnish four. Also one of the top teams. Mauricio Santa Cruz and the Brasilian team has a good track with no disturbance on the left side. The team wins the Nationals, Swedish Open.

Next week there will definetly be a fight among those boats. Today it is time to get ready for the measurements. All boats on land in Limhamn.
