With a hard wind blowing from the North today meeting the current created quite tough conditions outside Västra Hamnen in Malmö. The wind was blewing between 20-28 knots in the first race. Quite demanding downwind but surely also a lot of fun.
The wind was expected to decrease but remained the same and maybe also increased a little in the second race.
Very close to finnishing line shows how small margins it is. The two first boats in second race. The argentinian crew won clearly the first race.
The current direction going towards the wind direction created short and high waves.
Close action at the spinnaker setting.
The first race today had quite hard winds with gusts up to 14m/s. Some crews made real chines gybes with the mast top close to the water. Some boats were near to loose some of the crews to.Top ten results:
