Eighteen teams participated in the finale of the Danish J/70 Sailing League in Aarhus, Denmark. In the end, it was the KDY SHARKS who won both the finale and the overall sailing league series. The fourth event in Aarhus was not determined until the last flight; only one point separated first from third. After KDY SHARKS, the balance of the podium was determined on a tiebreaker at 15 points each. Winning that countback to take the silver medal were the Bandholm EAGLES, with the Frederikshavn SEAHAWKS taking the bronze. It was a record year for participation in the Danish J/70 Sailing League. The final event was held in collaboration with Sailing Aarhus Week and the surrounding clubs, Marselisborg and Kaløvig. It was the Aarhus International Sailing Sports Center that hosted the regatta. With two fourth places over the season and a fifth for this fourth event, it was the season’s last flights that were crucial for the former masters from Frederikshavn SEAHAWKS. It started out really well for the team for the event in Aarhus with just firsts and seconds in the first five flights. From there, they had to struggle to hold on to the podium. They came close to winning, but ended up tied on points for second place, just one point down from the KDY SHARKS.
