(Copenhagen, Denmark)- The ORC World Championship 2016 is organized by
KDY and Egaa Sejlklub and taking place out of Skovshoved Habour, just a
few kilometers north of Copenhagen. Sailing for the inshore races have
been on Öresund, a well known racing venue, renowned for having hosted
numerous Worlds, Europeans and Nordic championships. The offshore races
have been off the southern part of the Kattegat north of Helsingör, or
into the area where Öresund meets the Baltic Sea.Favorable 8-15 knot conditions on the opening day enabled the PRO to hold three inshore races. The day was characterized by very tight racing all day. Leading after the first day in Class C with 59 teams was Bo Teichmann’s J/112E LANCE 12, posting a 2-3-1 scoreline. The J/112E is being sailed by a mixed German and Dutch team that includes racing legend Bouwe Bekking (famous for both one-design and offshore championships in various classes as both tactician and skipper). Racing continues until July 23rd. You can follow their progress here.
