After qualifying regattas all over Europe, the “North European IMS Champion” of the ocean sailors was chosen on Sunday. The Swedish yacht of the type Sinergi40 won the title with ease. The following yachts “Du Soleil” (Sweden) “Ocean Warrior” (Norway) with points ahead on the podium.

“We are very happy to have won here,” said winner Aspholm. “It was a shame that the 'Yugtranzit' from Russia was unable to continue sailing in the long haul after touching the ground. We had hoped for a revenge for the world championship in Neustadt. We were only second behind them,”said the delighted winner and owner, who is responsible for the navigation at“DatCommunication”. The Swedes see the reason for their success in their good preparation before each race and the great experience of their tactician Matt Humphries (Sweden). “Matt has already completed five ocean race campaigns and is a real asset to our team. That made us even more professional,”explained helmsman Björn Österberg (Sweden). Sverre Valeur (Norway), owner and helmsman of the “Ocean Warrior”, an IMX 40, was satisfied with his third place in the ranking of the “North European IMS Champion”: “You can tell the people in charge of the Kieler Yacht Club (KYC), from the Kongelig Dansk Yachtklub (KDY), the KungligSvenskSegel Sällskapet (KSSS) and the HSH Nordbank, that they organized this event for the IMS sailors. " Valeur had to fight hard against the overwhelming strength of the Swedish yachts at the HSH Nordbank blue championship off Bornholm to make it onto the podium. In addition to the victorious "DatCommunication" (Sweden / 1st place), the "Du Soleil" (Sweden / 2nd place) from owner Ingvar Hertzman and the "HQ Bank" (Sweden / 4th place) with skipper Eskil Degsell, almost in front of Allinge every race in front of his nose. But with plenty of points from the qualifying regattas, the "Ocean Warrior" saved itself on the podium. Peter Rudbäck's (Sweden) "Al Cap One" got off to a good start. First and second place in the last two races brought him to fifth place in the standings. The “Varuna” of Jens Kellinghusen (Hamburg / NRV) hardly had a chance against the high sailing level of the fleet of 14 yachts from nine nations and landed in eleventh place. “We have a new crew with whom we are already training for the HSH Nordbank blue race next year from New York to Hamburg. The short races are not our thing, we rather love the long distances. Nevertheless, it is a great event here and we would definitely come back to Bornholm at any time,”explained Kellinghusen, who immediately set course for Sassnitz after the last finish, in order to bring part of his crew home there that night. The greatest praise of all participants went to the race committee under the direction of Eckart Reinke and the land program under the responsibility of head of organization Ecki von der Mosel. “Eight races in just four days and all courses perfectly designed. One can only congratulate the race committee. Add to that the great ambience of Allinge and a functioning organization on land, just a perfect place for sailing”, summed up“2obnoxious”owner Carl Edward Jansen (Norway) and added:“Not everyone has such a high level of IMS sailing Days. We are also coming to the next HSH Nordbank blue championship. "
