Going into the finale, the top team was Åländska Segelsällskapet’s first team; they had a solid five-point lead over Mariehamns Seglarförening (MSF), who in turn was just one point ahead of Helsinki’s Brändö Seglarea. The regatta culminated with the Åländska SS First team taking the overall Championship. Second, was the women’s team from Nyländska Jaktklubben (NJK), and taking third because of a strong performance in the last event was Mariehamns Seglarförening (MSF). The teams consisted of four-men crew, whose configurations were different in different races. In the competition, Åländska SS’s top team was Daniel Mattsson, Mathias Dahlman, Isak Nordlund and Staffan Lindberg. Thanks to its victory, Åländska Segelsällskapet will be able to sail to the Nord Stream Race offshore competition in 2018.
