Sweden, 2014 season's end Regatta
Sent by Harald Wigerstedt. The Sweden Marstrom fleet continues to put good numbers on their local races. The local Association is making some changes as reported by Harald, so we are glad to hear more from this Nordic fleet that is gathering youths to race along long time A-Cat sailors a legends like Goran Mastrom.

"Ten sailors took part of this final regatta of the season, and it was fun to see that as many as seven of them had traveled there to patcipated. We were lucky enough to experience different winds and weather, which led to much laughter and fun!
On exit will greeted by dark clouds that were very disturbing but luckily only the rain washed over us and just in time for the second race had passed and we got to feel the light winds...
Luckily Erik and INS already rounded and showed how it could be done, they even managed to take first and second place after the first day, followed closely by Goran who in turn were chased by two avid west coast sailors from Grankullavik.
Last race of the day took place inside Vivassen, where shifty course race made some guys crazy ... But everyone took it with a smile on his face and once inside the country were treated to cake and Champagne.
The forecast for Sunday promised more wind and so it was. Four races were completed.
Lovely dedication guys, good to see! Goran was consitent during the day and took four straight third places, impressive! While they experienced a fight for the podium, it was a thrilling and funny battle for fifth place between the two juniors Truls Axelsson LBS (Lomma bay sailing club), and Harald Bergstedt Wiger, who finished with only one point ahead.

As Jens and sends a greeting from Borstahusen and regrets that they could not attend this past weekend. They were very happy with the previous regatta in Loftahammar and think it's a great place!
