Matador Sail Racing Team

What an amazing week! Tough competition, all kinds of weather conditions and an excellent team performance. We finished 5th in our class with just 1 points margin to the 3rd place, a result we are very happy with.

A huge thank you to Garmin ORC World Championship 2025, Kalevi Jahtklubi and the city of Tallinn for a very fun and well organised regatta.

Matador is now on it's way home to continue the season with Visby Pokalen 🏆. See you there!

What a great first race at the ORC Worlds!

Beautiful scenery along the Finnish archipelago, awesome sailing conditions, and high spirits on board!

We’re excited and ready for more, but for now it’s time to rest up before tomorrow’s inshore races! 🏁

Race day👏👊👌 Gotland Runt! Round Gotland Race. Windy & sunny. We will start at 1515 in class SRS A. All good (for now😬🤩)👍🏻

Sandhamn Open Offshore Race. Another 1st position. Great race with excellent team performance✨ Cold. Windy. Still waiting for the Swedish summer🫣 Thank you KSSS for another perfect race organization🙏👏

Gotland Runt/Round Gotland Race - what a magic race😊 🥉 in class - not too bad as we lost parts of our head sail foil early into the race and was unsure if we could hoist any jibs - or finish the race - but we managed the situation and continued⭐️ Very strong team effort - especially in the early hours of the race with +30 knots of wind and heavy rain.

But after rain - comes sun, and we enjoyed a sunny run back home from the southern point of Gotland - to Sandhamn. It was our fastest race with apx 38 hours on the race course and it was wonderful to see our new young team members rise to the task and perform to their best and finish their first Round Gotland Race.

KSSS - you have managed the race extra ordinary well and it is with great pleasure we have seen the organization improve over time so we as partcipants get to enjoy excellent racing that has been well organized by a competent, welcoming and friendly team from your side. Well done✨👍🙏

It seems like our team agreed as they all have indicated their willingness to do the race again next year.
