(Stockholm, Sweden) - The J/109 MATADOR sailed by Jonas Grander from the
Royal Swedish YC (KSSS) finished third in SRS Bravo Class after sailing
the 364 nm race course. The Gotland Runt race is considered the Baltic
Sea's premier offshore race for most sailors in norther Europe and
Scandinavia.
It was one of the fastest around Gotland Island races in a long time.
As always, the difficulty is the capricious wind. Sometimes the wind is
strong and steady, and other times there's nothing. The goal for all
the boats is to keep running the boat and not park too often. The first
part of the race was fast, but then came the doldrums soon after
rounding the southern tip of Gotland. For more AF Offshore/ Gotland Runt sailing results
