Even before the Sejlsportsligaen.dk season’s last rally in the Danish Sailing League Division 2, the YC Furesøen may be able to celebrate their advancement to the Sailing League’s Division 1. The YC Furesøen struck again and secured their season’s second victory of three possible in Sailing League’s second division. The team rallied in Thisted; the four young YCF sailors won six races in 11 races, never finishing out of the top three. With such a strong record, it provided them a comfortable lead for the three races in the Gold Finale. Their competitors grew quite excited when they posted an uncharacteristic last place in the first race in the finale. But, their hopes were soon dashed as YCF dominated the fleet in the last two races with a 1-2 to win with ease. “We led around the first windward mark in the first race, but then we got locked in by starboard boats behind us on the run who had slid inside on a puff. As a result, the entire fleet rounded inside us on the favored side of the course,” explained Kasper Skiveren from YCF. “We came back with a second place in the next race, and the last we raced we got a bullet. It was super nice to come back that way,” said Jacob Pjetursson, a YCF crew member. Behind Furesøen, it was Gilleleje YC in second and Sejlklubben Sundet in third place. Sejlklubben Copenhagen, Thurø Sailing Club and Silkeborg Yacht Club also reached the final 6 and finished in that order in places fourth to sixth. As a result of their win, YC Furesøen have a 5-point lead over Sejlklubben Sundet in the season series after three events. Lying third is Silkeborg Sailing Club with 44 points. Only one event is left in Skovshoved, scheduled for September 10-11. For more Danish J/70 Sailing League information, visit http://sejlsportsligaen.dk/.
