\"smcs_logo\"<\/a>WMRT\u00a0 – Marstrand, Sweden (30th June 2015): Local favourite Johnie Berntsson, Sweden, and his Berntsson Sailing Team took full advantage of the champagne sailing conditions in Marstrand today with six wins out of seven races in Qualifying at Stena Match Cup Sweden, the third World Championship Event of the 2015 World Match Racing Tour (WMRT). Berntsson joins Ian Williams (GBR) GAC Pindar and Keith Swinton, Australian,\u00a0Black Swan Racing with seven points at the top of the leader-board. Defending event champion Bjorn Hansen, Sweden, Nautiksa Racing lies in fourth position with six Points.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Competing in his first World Championship Event this year, Johnie Berntsson seemed comfortable on his home waters relishing the support from spectators lining the famous Marstrand rocks;<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conditions today were terrific, for the sailors and for the crowds\u201d commented Berntsson; \u201cWe sailed well yesterday but today was important to us as we needed to add points on the leader-board. The guys have been driving the boat very very fast, and so I am really happy that I could give them some wins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Australian Keith Swinton has also some added local talent to his Black Swan Racing team, which proved its worth today as the team notched up four wins beating Bjorn Hansen by a boat length, Anna Ostling, Sweden, Team Anna, Simone Ferrerase, Italy, Ferrarese Racing and Sam Gilmour, Australia,\u00a0Neptune Racing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s certainly good to start well, but it all starts again at the Quarter Finals\u201d added Swinton. \u201cWe’ve got Olaf Lundgren from Sweden on the team this week, he\u2019s sailed with us for many years and it’s great to have him on board. Plus local legend and Volvo Ocean Race sailor Anders Delacose, who told us he has never finished out of the top four at this regatta!\u201d<\/p>\n

Young Swedish skipper Nicklas Dackhammar (SWE) Essiq Racing also posted a significant win against former World Champion Taylor Canfield (ISV) US One placing him in a respectable seventh position at the end of Qualifying session two.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great race [against Canfield] from start to finish and we held the advantage the whole way. With our two wins today we now have a good shot at reaching the Quarter Finals and that\u2019s what we are aiming at.\u201d said Dackhammar.<\/p>\n

Racing resumes tomorrow at 1300 after a morning.<\/p>\n
