After a brief delay this morning due to fog and light air, race managers were able to get racing started shortly before midday in the\u00a0Mills Short Offshore Race<\/strong>\u00a0of the\u00a02022 ORCi European Championship<\/strong>, hosted by the\u00a0Royal Norwegian Yacht Club<\/strong>\u00a0(KNS). Clearing skies and bright sun started the usual southerly thermal breeze to produce yet another day of \u201cchampagne sailing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top two in the results in Class A were the TP 52\u2019s: after 5.5 hours of racing on the 49.1-mile course\u00a0Per Ottar Skaaret\u2019s JOKERMAN<\/strong>\u00a0(NOR) claimed victory with only a 13-second margin over\u00a0Holger Streckenbach\u2019s IMAGINE\u00a0<\/strong>(GER). In third was the Mills Offshore Race Winner\u00a0KATIMA<\/strong>\u00a0(GER), Jan\u00a0Oplander\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>Swan 45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lars Huekstaedt<\/strong>\u00a0is skipper of the Fast 40+\u00a0X-DAY<\/strong>\u00a0(GER – shown above), and described today\u2019s race course as being a \u201cBeautiful tour of the area, but one that kept our navigator busy\u201d trying to avoid the numerous rocks and small islands on the course they sailed today around the Oslofjord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

X-DAY is the sole all-amateur\u00a0Corinthian<\/strong>\u00a0entry in Class A and new to this team. They have been learning to race this Farr-designed carbon fiber rocket ship that started life in the Med-based GP 42 fleet over a decade ago, migrated to the UK to race in the Fast 40 fleet, and is now returned to the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while X-DAY has yet to be within podium results yet at this event, Huekstaedt knows this is part of a longer process to build his team\u2019s skill set to be more competitive in the next season which will peak closer to home in Kiel this time next year at the 2023 ORC Worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had a great time this week, the racing and the event was perfect, well-managed, and of course the weather has been amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Class B raced the same course as Class A, and the class leaders crowded the top of the results. After over 7 hours of racing,\u00a0Tiit Vihul\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0modified X-41\u00a0OLYMPIC\u00a0<\/strong>(EST) was able to defeat the two Landmark 43\u2019s –\u00a0Jens Kuphal\u2019s INTERMEZZO\u00a0<\/strong>(GER) and\u00a0Torkjel Valland\u2019s WHITE SHADOW\u00a0<\/strong>(NOR) \u2013 with the Germans in second and Norwegians in third.<\/p>\n\n\n

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

Class C raced a slightly shorter course of 43.3 miles, and this class also had the same teams seen in the top ranks of the last three days turning in good results. They were led by\u00a0Patrik Forsgren\u2019s<\/strong>modified First 36.7\u00a0TEAM PRO4U\u00a0<\/strong>(SWE – shown left in the fog), with\u00a0Aivar Tuulberg\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>Arcona 340\u00a0KATARIINA II\u00a0<\/strong>(EST) in second and\u00a0Harles Liiv\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>J-112E\u00a0SHADOW<\/strong>\u00a0(EST) earning third place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While victory was not predictable per se, TEAM PRO4U\u2019s better result in this long race was anticipated by Forsgren last night when he said \u201cIn the buoy racing it\u2019s harder for us to break free of the faster boats ahead of us to sail to our rating,\u201d he explained. \u201cBut on the long races we have more room to sail our own race.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For tomorrow, the ORCi European Champion podium positions will be determined only after a fight in each class in the final inshore race because today’s race could not be discarded from the scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Class A JOKERMAN and IMAGINE are separated by only a point for the battle for Silver, same for INTERMEZZO and WHITE SHADOW (NOR) in Class B for Gold. KATARIINA II has a more comfortable 5-point margin in Class C for Gold, but there is only two points between TEAM PRO4U and Juss Ojala\u2019s <\/strong>J-112E MATILDA 4<\/strong> in a battle for Silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
