In-port race Stockholm

It is not over until it is over. It has been a fight for the top three and it's on again as Telefonica Blue passed Skanskobb outside of Sandhamn on midsummer, two days ago which gave them 2 points, with the a container of tools from Ericsson and 24 hours work, the boat did leave the dock at Skeppsbron this morning 07.30 local time and are now on their way to the starting- line. 

Telefonica Blue has a good record of the in-port race and are good sailors on the light winds over Östersjön. If Puma finish sixth place and the same on the race to St Petersburg. It might not be likely as Puma has improved the last legs. But still it will deliver a excited afternoon. 

The race will be sailed at an america's cup race course with two marks, instead of three that is the regular on a olympic course. todays race course are built up as tackleg followed by a downwind, tack and a last downwind towards the finish line. 

I am just leaving RaceVillage and Stockholm behind on a boat with photographers from Spain, france and a film team from Brasil.
