(Stockholm, Sweden)- Peter Gustafsson
continues to output some awesome sailing videos of his J/111 BLUR
racing in both double-handed as well as fully-crewed races in
Scandinavian waters. Here’s a recent one of them sailing the
double-handed “Seapilot Two-star 2014”. As described by Peter, “the
shorthanded race from this weekend. Averaged 12.7 knots over 25 minutes
and topped 18 with just the helmsman on deck. Great ride.”Watch the Seapilot Two-Star 2014 sailing video here:

The sun starting to drop at 10:30 pm during Bohusracet. The Bohusracet is Sweden’s largest Doublehanded race with almost 200 boats starting. 170 miles of sailing through the beautiful archipelago of Bohuslän on the Swedish West coast. Starting Friday with 40 miles inshore, continuing through the night offshore and during sunrise going inshore again before finishing Saturday night keeps you awake and constantly concentrated.
Tactics, strategy, serious navigation and constant competition during thirty hours make this one of the greatest races you can find on earth. Here is J/111 BLUR’s “Bohusracet 2014” sailing video:
