The Danish J/70 Sailing League’s second event took place in Sonderborg. Eighteen clubs and 71 sailors were blessed with better than expected conditions, testing the crews abilities to sail the J/70 in 15-25 knot winds. After the first day of racing, the two local clubs, Sailing Club Aabenraa and Sønderborg Yacht Club, had sailed themselves to the head of the pack. A new innovation was implemented for the League leaders for this event—after the first day, the entire crew of the winning team would wear yellow pullovers so they could easily be identified by their competitors. After Saturday’s racing, the Aabenraa Sailing Club was the new leader with three victories out of four possible races. The last day produced perhaps the biggest surprise of the League so far. Aarhus SC with Peter Warrer as skipper moved past Aabenraa SC on the last race of the day and was crowned the champion for the Sonderborg event. In the meantime, Hellerup continued to extend their overall league lead with another excellent performance. For the overall Danish J/70 Sailing League standings, Hellerup SC is first with 34 points followed by Sonderborg YC in second with 28 points, and in third is Aarhus SC with 27 points. Lying fourth also with 27 points is KDY, and fifth is Faaborg SC with 26 points. The League is based on “high point” scoring. The Danish Sailing League now takes a short break in July and returns to competition in Hellerup on August 22-24. For more Sejlsportsligaen sailing information, visithttp://www.sejlsportsligaen.dk/.
