Second top ten ever :-):-):-)

We have sailed the first national regatta of the season in Estavayer last weekend. We did not have any wind the first day. Sunday was much better and, thanks to the efficiency of the regatta committee we were able to sail for races. My first race was not that great, a 15th. But I improved a lot since a 5th, a 4th and a 2nd followed. That put me in 9th position overall :-), second in my age. Nice start into the season.
 
My brother Niklas sailed his first national regatta in the 420. Even though the sailed on Bielersee, just a few kilometers away they only sailed two races. The had one OCS unfortunately and couln't get down the spinakker in the first race.
