Hello and welcome to hang on in a regatta from Malmo,
It is Bergerheim Marine Cup, it is a sprint race for the ACC boats.
Sprint means it shorter distance.
These boats are more known for large sea race worldwide.
They sailing these boats in the Volvo Ocean Race
and also in cup race in America. They are extremely expensive.
The start has gone and I sail one of the blue Swedish boats.
I myself have designed the boat in Photoshop.
There was a lot of work before I learned to create the boat like this in Photoshop.
Many hours of work before I learned everything.
I got a very bad start here and is probably in place 6 now.
I got the penalty too, so it did not give a better situation.
You have to do a 360 degree turn around when you got penalty.
I am about in position 6 or 7 now and trying to advance.
I usually try to take it easy and think and plan more long term.
The second Swedish boat ahead of me here in fourth place.
These boats are extremely fast and accelerates very quickly.
This can involve speeds up to 30 knots.
So it really goes away in these boats.
When these boats running at high speed out to sea, so squirt water when they plow through the waves.
There is a special program for editing in Virtual Skipper 5
When I played in every sailing. I can go into the editor afterwards.
This way I can create different camera angles and effects.
I think it's very funny and I get better results when I viewing the videos.
Here we run into the harbor and it becomes more crowded to maneuver.
But it's still not as crowded as it is when it is about race far end of the harbor.
There are three different races in Bergerheim Marina ACC Cup race in Malmo.
The other two are much narrower inside the harbor.
Here is more space left behind.
When it goes over 20 knots inside the port, you have to make quick decisions.
Here is the point where I try to advance, but it is not easy.
It is crowded among the boats and the wind hinder angles of sailing.
Sometimes you have to take a long detour to get around some boats.
It's important to beware that can not go on a penalty.
Here I begin to work my way up at high speed and can advance more.
I usually sail well where it is a little tricky and difficult.
Here we guide the boat. It is U.S. boat which is at the top.
The two Swedish is almost as a team you could say.
I have now advanced up properly at roundings of the final three brands.
I'm just working my way up to second place.
I huddle with a boat in the turn and must look out for the penalty.
I made it but the other boat went on a penalty and forced to turn around.
I went through without penalty, but usually go on penalty sometimes in such a situation.
Have you taken a penalty, so it takes time to swing around and losing position.
Then you get to work extra hard for to run up the lost time.
Often small margins when sailing in regattas.
When sailing against elite sailors as regards the really to sail as flawlessly as possible.
It is very high speeds in this race and we sail at over 20 knots.
Here I have worked my way up and I choose not to sail with the spinnaker.
I run with genoa all the time.
I notice that other boats have problems with the wind and sail therefore more secure.
If so this strong wind, the boat can be broken down by the wind and it will abruptly stop.
Then you get to take down and put spinnackern genoa again and it takes a long time.
I've got a very high speed here.
See what amazing speed I got up here.
I made the sails transparent a little, so that I can see through them.
There was a lot of work to learn it.
It is otherwise very difficult to see boats which is located close to the pace.
There is usually only a few seconds make the right decisions and react.
Now I can better avoid to turn into another boat.
But I do not want too much transparent, so that it becomes too transparent.
I want to have nice color and design too.
Here it goes well and I've managed without any penalty.
I managed to keep clear of the two U.S. boats.
Here it was pure chaos with a strong wind in spinnackers.
I manage to stay away in the strong wind, but came from behind USA at full speed.
It was difficult turns here at the end, because the speed was so high.
U.S. boat came in full speed, but put spinnackern and it did not go so well in the turn.
But it all went wrong when the wind broke down the boat completely and a total stop.
It can go very fast when the wind enters wrong in spinnackern.
The slightest error in fierce wind can lead to big problems.
It takes a long time to get going again after total decomposition of the wind.
I earn much in the kitty from the boat behind.
This is the last tag and now it's straight up towards the finish line.
There is not long way to race, but a sprint race.
As I am approaching the green markings for the finish line.
Now I set up the spinnacker for the first time.
I got high speed toward the finish line.
I thank you that you kept up with this regatta.
You are welcome to join in the other regattas I sail in Bergerheim Marine Cup.
