Elvstrøm Sails has again proved very strong in tough international racing. Big waves and winds around 15-30 knots called for some skillfull sailing at the X-35 European Championship in Holland. But with sails on the boats that took second and third at the regatta Elvstrøm Sails once more made a significant result in European top racing.
Eight races were concluded and after four days of racing in heavy conditions Danish Team Oxygen from Kerteminde finished third. German Team Xen skippered by Torsten Bastiansen from Danish boat builders X-yachts took third. Both boats powered by EPEX laminate sails from Elvstrøm Sails.
- Every day we had a fine sense of our speed and of our new Elvstrøm Sails. That was all confirmed today where we were among the fastest boats in the fleet when we got away from the others, says Morten Ulrikkeholm from Team Oxygen at the end of the regatta.
