The weekend finale that kept the audience on the pier in Lemvig entertained until the last flight. It was (again) KDY Sailing Club who took the final victory in the Danish J/70 Sailing League and could take home the gold.

Roskilde SC, who had previously been declared the favourites, had to settle for silver in the overall standings. Kaløvig Sailing Club took bronze and an event victory.

How KDY won

The battle for the gold was again one of the most intense matches in the Danish J/70 Sailing League. Roskilde SC who went into the 4th event as favorites, although with a replacement in the team, and KDY SC who had not taken as many event wins as usual. Both teams showed their very best. It was close throughout and there was also a fight for 3rd place among the remaining top teams, where sailing was decisive.

With a light medium wind throughout the weekend, sharp tactical decisions were made, and there was excitement until the end. Excitement was also maintained on land with the help of the two commentators Victor and Ditlev, who throughout the weekend fed the audience with sharp comments and analyses of the teams' actions.

KDY SC said in their winner's speech at the award ceremony, "The level continues to rise and it's great to see so many intense racing and talented club teams. We are overjoyed with the victory and congratulations to all the other teams." A well-satisfied team that once again shows why they have been at the top of the podium so many times.

Perfect setting

The pier on Lemvig was well visited and many made their way to the final event in the city centre. It was also this weekend that there was the locally known "Crab Festival", which also contributed to many visitors. In addition, Lemvig puts itself back in the saddle as the absolute best host city, with an army of volunteers that make even the biggest championships look understaffed and a cake buffet as if there was an ongoing competition running. The ultra-high level of hospitality by Lemvig Sejlklub again set them up as the best event hosts. See the overall leaderboard here. See the event results here.
