The second of four events that constitute the 2018 Swedish Sailing League series took place in Ekero, just outside of Stockholm. The fleet of 18 sailing clubs from across Sweden was having a difficult time with the sailing conditions and, as a result, only 10 of the scheduled 15 races were sailed by each team. Björn Hansen of the KSSS (Royal Swedish YC) was struggling to stay ahead of the GKSS Youth squad. “We were very pleased with our sailing, winning seven wins and a second and third place before we got match raced in the last race. It was against the GKSS kids, the only ones who had the chance to pass us overall. A fourth place in the final race with GKSS behind us secured victory for our KSSS team,” said skipper Bjorn Hansen. The KSSS team consisted of Björn Hansen, Mathias Hermansson, Mathias Bredin, Pontus Meijer and Liv Gyllfors. The GKSS youths were comprised of Hannes Westberg, Hugo Westberg, Oscar Engström and Hedvig Hedström. Taking third was the Sotefjordens SS and the same position in the overall series. After the two events, KSSS have now taken over first place in the series over Cape Crow YC.
