SM i Speed 21-22 sept in Klagshamn.

Two days speed sailing was scheduled this weekend in september in Klagshamn Malmö.
But the wind was to week. No sailing on saterrday.
Sunday, we hoped that the prognosis should be good but DMI prognos was not the best.
We tested some heats at 10:30, but the water level stared to sink and it become to dangerous to sail among the pins and plastic pounds (stone indicators).
In the afternoon we moved out the start gate to a safer area.
Wind picked up a littlebit, 8 m/s.
2 heats.
I saild on sp63 and 8,6 m2 but in the last heat i saild on sp53 and 7,8 m2.

Torkelstorp 18 aug 2013.

We had King of the Fjord, 5:th competition, on this day.

Wind prognosis was good, 10-14 m/s and S wind.
Started in a control way but the wind picked up and the condition got very bumpy.

I started with SP53 and sail 7,8 m2 but changed later to 7,0 m2.

I didnt get fully control in the chop so the speed results was not so good for me.
Ended on the 9:th place (top 6 not possible for me to match).
