Report day 1
Wind 3-7 m/sec NW. Sunny +10o C and very good sailing conditions. 3 races.

Report day 2
Wind approx 5 m/sec NE. Sunny + 12o and excellent sailing conditions. The wind has during the day increased to approx. 10 m/sec and it has become more cloudy. 2 races (total 5).


We had 5 races as planned. Krister Bergstrom and Johan Barne won in convincing style and were in a class for themselves. Olle Wenrup and I was lucky to be second, just one point before Tom Bojland and Phillip Christiani on 3rd place. Two teams came all the way from Finland and we had one German team, 8619 (Ahrbom/Chris Nicholson's boat from Townsville) plus 6 boats from Denmark and another 5 from Sweden. We missed Jan Saugmann/Torben Ramsbaek but I guess they were nice guys taking care of their families instead. One danish team broke their mast in a capsize after the racing on Saturday and with no spare mast around they had to go home with no sailing on Sunday. We have a couple of new teams in Sweden and at least one of them will buy a better 505 for next year. The weather and wind was perfect and the event was succesful I think.

We look forward to more races in Malmoe before the worlds in 2003 and we will try to run them a bit later next year (in hope to see more germans...). The GUL Regatta is held every year on tradition early in May but we'd like to have a Nordic or Swedish/Danish Championship there if possible. On Friday, the day before the racing, a few teams were out practising together. Olle and I also had a Fireball team trying out sailing our 505 while we were sailing their very old fireball (which was a terrible experiance). We also had a chance to sail under the Oresund Bridge which was a really nice experiance.

Johan Arvedson had ordered danish beer which he kindly offered to everyone after the racing. The prizes were very good. The first 3 boats got rather expensive GUL watches to both helm and crew!
