The second round of Allsvenskan Sailing was decided in Jungfrusund on Ekerö, outside of Stockholm. And just like the first round, there was a battle between the KSSS (Royal Swedish YC) and the Cape Crow YC. The winning KSSS team consisted of Niklas Edler, Fredrik Appelberg, Martin Wigforss and Julia Gross. They sailed an impressive series, winning nine of 15 races during the three days of sailing. KSSS skipper Niklas Edler commented, “It was really nice to finally beat Cape Crow and Patrik Sturesson! They are fast and a great team. Last year, it was Cape Crow who won here and also here at Ekerö. Then, the same crew that won the Sailing Champions League last fall still came in second in the first regatta this year. So, today’s victory was extra big.” After 15 rounds and 45 races at Ekerö, KSSS eventually became the winner, with the Cape Crow Yacht Club from Gothenburg in second place and the Ekolns Segelklubb from Uppsala in third place. Now that the Swedish J/70 League is at the halfway point (with two of four acts completed), KSSS can take a summer break as the series leader ahead of the ruling champions from Cape Crow. KSSS, who won Allsvenskan 2015, has two points while Cape Crow has four points. Then, there is a jump down to the third place team—Rörvik on 14 points.
