(Stockholm, Sweden)- It was in brilliant sunshine and winds of 4-6
metres/second for the last and final J/80 regatta of the year. A total
of nine J/80's were on the starting line at 10am for the first start.
What followed was a brisk tempo with short and quick races for everyone.
Many boats were leading the various races with many changes at the top
due to the premium put on not only boatspeed off the starting line but
good boat-handling as well!The winner was TEAM HAPPY with John Berg at the helm with 53 points. John became the proud winner of the gift card for 6,000 kronor (sponsored by the I.T. company DYNAMANT)!! Before this last regatta, the Dynamant Summer Series was evenly matched between the teams DYNAMANT and HEAVY DUTY, with the outcome of the last regatta determining who would get 2nd and 3rd. In the end, DYNAMANT's solid, consistent sailing decided the outcome, giving them second oval with 48 points and a giftcard of 3,000 kronor! Finishing third was HEVY DUTY with 46 points.
This year's "Rookie of the Year" was awarded to TEAM VICTORY, which debuted in mid-season and finished well in the last few regattas. That bodes well for next season!
At the Awards Presentation, prizes were also awarded to the three boats who have distinguished themselves for their commitment to sailing the Dynamant Cup Series-- those teams were PARBELU, HEAVY DUTY and HAPPY-- none of them have missed a regatta! Their hard work and perseverance was rewarded handsomely, each team were given HUGE, well-filled bags of chocolate and coffee from Marabou and Gevalia. Yummy!
