There was a battle for the top of the leaderboard in Sandefjord for the Norwegian J/70 Sailing League. Bundefjorden SF had to be beat by Risør SF in the final race to win the regatta. It was hard to overcome the team from Risor, as they also won in Oslo. There were 14 teams participating with a total of 42 races. The sailors in the second division in the Seilsports League got great weather for the weekend, as a relatively stable breeze filled the Sandefjord both days. “It was windy or it simply disappeared in the last race, and luckily, it went our way,” said Morten Røisland, skipper from Risør SF. Askøy Sailing Association took third place in the weekend’s racing, only three points behind second place. The home-team Sandefjord SF also sailed well to take fourth place. Fifth position went to Alesunds SF. After two regattas in the Norwegian Sailing League, Risør SF has clear leadership with a 1-1 tally for 2 points. Askøy SF is second with two third places. The balance of the top five is up for grabs between the next few teams. Bundefjorden SF took a jump in the standings up to third overall by virtue of an 8-2 record for 10 points. They are tied with Alesunds that have a 5-5 tally for 10 points, but lose the tiebreak on countback. Then Hurum SF is sitting in fifth place with a 2-9 for 11 points.
