SWE GP II - Varberg Vår Rus

Report by Anders Petersson:
Glorious sunshine and good winds. And a VASS course! What could be better?

The Varbergs GP II, arranged by Varbergs Segelsällskap VASS was sailed in brilliant sunshine and fine winds, so sailing was conducted under the best conditions. On Saturday, there were some very strong wind shifts, so sailing management did the right and cut off one of the races. Total sailed was four races over the weekend, two on Saturday and two on Sunday.

Overall Winner of Varbergs GP was Mats Johansson and Leif Möller Kat, second was Calle Schroeder and Stefan Hemlin Kat, in third place came the young fighters Philip Carlsson and Benjamin Peterson and fourth were Ingvar J-son Krook and Henrik Hasselgren.

The fight continues, therefore, in the Kattegat fleet and the battle is fierce between upstarts Carlsson / Peterson and the more experienced crews Johansson / Möller and Schröder / Hemlin.

Many thanks to HP Hylander and all other officials at VASS for a very well done and pleasant Starboat GP II in Varberg. We look forward to coming back for the Star World Championship 2009 in Varberg in early August.
