In these Covid-19 times there are restrictions on number of participants in a sports event as we are all well aware of. Some of the OKViken sailors had planned to join the Danish Championships (DM) but when the numbers of participants allowed still remain below 100 we all missed out. To get back on the water and race we created our own VM – “Viken Mästerskap” aka the “Viken Worlds”.
The one day racing took place on August 15 in light winds and blazing sun. We managed 5 tight races with lots of actions on the water.
Even if the racing was thight, Benjamin managed to score four 1:st when discarding one and Thomas had the most persistent performance with five 2:nd places. A special welcome to Håkan, the latest addition to the OK fleet in Viken. The total results:
1 – Benjamin Hammerö
2 – Tomas Franzén
3 – Christian Schaarup
4 – Håkan Söderberg
5 – Pontus Gäbel
6 – Pelle Wejmenhög
7 – Per Thorin
8 – Thomas Uziel
9 – Jonas Jemt
10 – Oliver Uziel (who unfortunately had to retire due to equipment failure)
We would like to thank all the volunteers that made it all happen! We were supported by a small and dedicated crew. Joachim Hammerö and Kristian Resvik ran the start and finishing with great precision. Master of ceremony, Stefan Edefäll was also in charge of the course while Anders Bjurö took amazing photos!
See you on the water soon again!
