The third round of Allsvenskan Sailing (the Swedish J/70 Sailing League) was settled on Munksjön in central Jönköping. It was Malmö SS that took home victory, only one point ahead of KSSS (the Royal Swedish YC). “This feels fantastic. We managed to get together a team just two days before starting,” says Per-Håkan Persson from the Malmö SS team. They won no less than seven races in the total of 13 sailed. In the end, Malmo won by just one point over the KSSS team that won five of their last six races. Third was Cape Crow YC’s team. As a result, the overall season series has one more event to close out the season finale. Currently, after three events in Strangnas, Ekero, and Jonkoping, the KSSS have posted a 1-1-2 for the lead for the 2017 Swedish Sailing League series. Three points back is Cape Crow YC that have a 2-2-3 for 7 points total. In third place is Hjuviks BK team with a 3-13-4 for 20 points total. Just 2 points back in fourth is Ornskoldsviks SS with 22 points, and in fifth place is the ascending Malmo SS with a 17-6-1 for 24 points. Sitting in the hunt just 1 point further back in sixth is Ekoln SK with a 14-3-8 for 25 points.
