This past weekend the Finnish J/70 National Championships were held just west of Helsinki in the seaside town of Helsingfors.

The host for the enthusiastic fleet was Nylandska Jaktklubben. The NJK Race Committee and PRO team managed to run eight races over the three-day regatta.

Winning was Markus Ronnberg's team on ALANDIA SAILING TEAM (Emil Nordlund, Jasper Karlsson, & Staffan Lindberg). They sailed an extremely consistent series, posting all top-five finishes over their twenty-five competitors.

Second was Hemming Hanses's ALMACO TEAM with a crew of Mathias Tennstrom, Isak Nordlund, and Melker Lundberg. Then, rounding out the podium was determined by a tiebreaker at 21 pts net each. Winning that countback was Tusse Tallberg's FINNISH FLASH with a crew of Victor Silen, Mikke Berg, and Kasimir Johansson.
