The Norwegian Sailing League opened in Oslo, Norway. There were 30 sailing clubs participating in two divisions, the Premiere League and the Challenge League. The weather was brisk with moderate breezes and temperatures at 15 degrees C. It was even snowing at times just before and during the regatta. Host was the Vippa Sailing Club. After two days of sailing, it was Moss Seilforening and Risør Seilforening who set the standard in each division in this year’s first Seilsportsliga event. The conditions in Inner Oslofjord were quite demanding and challenging for all the teams. The Moss Sailing Association moved up to the first division after last year’s effort in the second division, and this weekend they showed they had certainly qualified to the right division. They won four of their six races to beat last year’s Seilsports League winner KNS (Kongelig Norsk Seilforening). Brevik Sailing Association ended up in seventh place last year, but opened the season much stronger by taking a third place in the first regatta. In the second division, Risør Sailing Association had its very first regatta in the Seilsports League and secured first place. Hurum SF, who finished in 10th place last year, got second place; while Askøy Seilforening opened their participation in the Seilsports League Second Division with a third.
