(Hanko, Norway)- Hankø Race Week was established in 1882 and over 137 years has developed as the greatest one-design event in Norway. In cooperation with Fredrikstad Seilforening, Hankø Yacht Club and GRUNDIG, the thirty-one J/70 teams were treated to three great days of sailing in the bay off Hanko.
In the end, the J/70 Nordic Championship and J/70 Norwegian Championship was held from June 27th to 29th with teams from Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. The hometown favorites from the host yacht club, NORWEGIAN STEAM, sailed a very consistent regatta to just win by two points. The Steamers were led by Eivind Astrup, with crew of Lasse Berthelsen, Pal Tonnrsson, and Espen Tonnesson; they counted all podium finishes in their eight of nine races they counted. Taking second was Moss Seilforening’s Jorn-Erik Ruud, also counting just podium placings for 16 pts net. Taking the bronze on the podium was Magne Klann’s VIEW SOFTWARE team from Soon Seilforening with 25 pts net. The balance of the top five included Magnus Hedemark’s SAIL LOGIC RACING in 4th with 39 pts and the top Swedish team in 5th place- Jan Bjornsjo’s ACE OF BASE from Ekero Batklubb with 41 pts net.
