Wulff from the UK Wins Gold Cup in Halmstad

Published: 2024-07-14 - 10:58

Throughout the week in Halmstad, the weather conditions were tricky, and leading up to Friday's final races, five races had been completed. However, Friday offered excellent conditions with winds around 4-5 m/s. The competition was tight at the top, with only nine points separating first and eighth place. Leading into the final day was John Wulff from the UK, just one point ahead of the second-place contender.

When it mattered most, GBR 808 with John Wulff demonstrated they were worthy winners of the Nordic Folkboat Gold Cup by winning the series' final race. The Swedish team in SWE 1255, helmed by Anders Cederblad, finished second in the race, securing third place overall. Danish sailor Anders Sunke on DEN 745 came third in the race, earning him a second place overall.

After five days of racing, the Nordic Folkboat Gold Cup concluded, with Friday evening ending in a delightful regatta dinner at the Halmstad Yacht Club's boat house.
