Under yet another day of sunny skies, race managers from the\u00a0Royal Norwegian Yacht Club<\/strong>\u00a0(KNS) used the perfect 12-15 knot southerly breeze to produce three windward\/leeward races for the first day of inshore competition at the\u00a02022 ORCi European Championship<\/strong>. As expected in all ORC championship events, the racing was highly competitive in each of the three classes that competed on two course areas set in the Oslofjord south of the KNS venue in Hank\u00f8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In Class A there is one team that seemed to make it look easy: Michael Berghorn\u2019s<\/strong> Mills 45 Custom HALBTROCKEN 4.5 <\/strong>(GER – shown above) enjoyed success with a clean sweep of victories today for a 5.0 point total after four races. The team\u2019s corrected time margins of winning were 1:44 in the first race of the day, and that shrunk to 1:03 in the second race\u2026not bad after about an hour of racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this winning margin shrunk to 15 seconds in the third race, a very tight time that Berghorn was thankful for due to a late puff of breeze that helped collapse the distance between him and his faster-rated TP 52 rivals ahead on the last downwind leg of the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI bought this boat from an Australian owner that was convinced that you needed a TP 52 to win,\u201d Berghorn said. \u201cYet here we\u2019re proving in ORC this is not true, you just need to make fewer mistakes than your competition to succeed. This was a beautiful day of sailing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jan Oplander\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0Swan 45\u00a0KATIMA\u00a0<\/strong>(GER), the winner in this class of yesterday\u2019s Mills Long Offshore Race, is 7 points back in second place, tied in points with\u00a0Per Ottar Skaaret\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0TP52\u00a0JOKERMAN\u00a0<\/strong>(NOR) sitting now in third place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Berghorn’s sentiment was echoed by another German team leading the standings after four races. Jens Kuphal <\/strong>did not have a great start to the event on his modified Landmark 43 INTERMEZZO<\/strong>, scoring 7th in the Mills Long Offshore Race that concluded yesterday. Yet his quest to reduce the effects of this went far today with 1.5 \u2013 1.0 \u2013 2.0 earned in three races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis day was 110% perfect,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is no better ORC racing in these conditions with moderate wind and flat water, everything was very close and really exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is there a 1.5 point score? this is because their ORC corrected time in this race was exactly the same \u2013 to the second, after just under an hour of racing \u2013 with Torkjel Valland\u2019s<\/strong> Landmark 43 WHITE SHADOW<\/strong> (NOR) so they share points for first and second places. The two boats are mostly the same and differ only slightly in their set up to have a very small difference in rating, so they are often racing very close to each other while typically leading the class around the race course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Norwegians are 3.0 points off the lead, with Tiit Vihul\u2019s<\/strong> modified X-41 OLYMPIC<\/strong> (EST) another 6.0 points back in third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The standings in Class C are much closer, with the three top teams all earning victories in today\u2019s races and just a 4-point spread between them. Sitting on top now is\u00a0Aivar Tuulberg\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0Arcona 340\u00a0KATARIINA II<\/strong>\u00a0(EST) with a solid 2.0 \u2013 2.0 \u2013 3.0 -1.0 scoreline, only 2.0 points ahead of another Estonian team,\u00a0Juss Ojala\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0J-112E\u00a0MATILDA 4\u00a0<\/strong>(shown above).\u00a0Patrik Forsgren\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0modified First 36.7\u00a0TEAM PRO4U<\/strong>\u00a0(SWE) is only another two points back, but is the top Corinthian (all amateur) team in this class at this point in the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The racing in this class is always tight: for example, after an hour of racing in the first race today MATILDA won by\u00a06 seconds<\/em>\u00a0over KATARIINA, while\u00a0Harles Liiv\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0J-112E\u00a0SHADOW<\/strong>\u00a0(EST) defeated TEAM PRO4U by only\u00a01 second<\/em>\u00a0for third place in that race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tuulberg reckons he has raced every ORC World and European Championship held in northern Europe for the past 10 years, and every championship held in the Mediterranean region since 2016. He has done this by having a boat in the north (the Arcona) and a boat in the south (most recently a Swan 42).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year alone he raced in 4 major events prior to coming to Hank\u00f8: in Italy for the ORC Mediterraneans in May, in Estonia for the Baltic Offshore Week in June, in Porto Cervo for the ORC Worlds in early July, then Copa del Rey in Spain last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really enjoy this racing in ORC,\u201d he said. \u201cThe racing is fun, it is fair and we have a great time. It has come a long way from when we were 20th place in the Worlds in Helsinki in 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inshore racing resumes tomorrow, with three races planned to once again start at 1100 with another favorable weather forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
