Great sailing in Luleå

Luleå, 65'N 22'E

A great winter city

 

Race 1, en tuff utmaning

Vi vaknade upp till en regnig morgon med svag NV vind och nya prognoser som samstämmigt visade på avtagande.
Starten blev intressant snurr och dopp, alla i väg dock Ola.Persson skulle visa sig ha hittat trimskruvarna på sin C2 Bona. Ola valde högra kanten och seglade snabbt och stabilt, navigerade säkert och med små marginaler och vid första rundning ost Baggen hade han skapat sig en lucka på några hundra meter före Agio Red med Joakim Wiklund och därefter Lars Linder följt av Leff Dahl.
Efter banavkortning och målgång vid Mannön var Ola först, Linder  tvåa, Wiklund Trea, Mats Johansson fyra och Dahl femma.

Eftermiddagen blev tunn och slutade med bogsering efter att ha lunchat på.Antnäs Börtskär.
Nu blir det tork och bastu och i natt kör vi midnattsrace, om vindgudarna vill.
