(Helsinki, Finland)- By winning eleven of their fifteen races sailed,
the remarkably fast and smart crew on the Åländska Segelsällskapet 1
Team walked off with the honors at their most recent Finnish sailing
league event in Helsinki.Taking place over the August 19th and 20th weekend, the regatta PRO managed to run the full slate of fifteen races for the teams gathered from all four corners of Finland. While the Åländska team sailed head and shoulders above everyone else in the fleet, behind them it was quite a battle for the balance of the podium. Taking second was the Mariehamns Seglarforening with 31 pts and finishing in third place was Helsingors Segelklubb with 37 pts. Rounding out the top five were Turun Pursiseura Team in 4th and the Brando Seglare Team in 5th position.
As a result, after two events, the Åländska team is leading the series with a 2nd in their home waters of Aland and a 1st in Helsinki for a total of 3 pts. The biggest battle is for the rest of the top five; all separated by just 3 pts- meaning the provisional standings can shift quite dramatically each regatta. Sitting in second is Mariehamns with 8 pts, Brando is third with 9 pts, Nylandska is 4th with 10 pts, and Helsingfors is 5th with 11 pts!
