Staffan Holm beats Ulf Grünbaum in the first race (of a series?) for the unofficial Swedish Shark Championship at Mälaren but Ulf wins in the "white sail" fleet!
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 boat types here in Mälaren during this weekend. Staffan had his new sails so me and my crew lost the informal race between me and him. Since i haven´t bought any spinnaker-pole we couldn´t use the spinnaker at all. But it was great anyway, and look forward to participate in further competitions. Sail on! / Ulf

But I hadn´t got any spinnaker-pole so he beat me during the spinnaker track. Well, I´ve got to confess; he´s a good sailor too. This summer I was thinking about selling my shark and buy a bigger boat, but after the race I´ve decided to keep it. It really is a feeling to sail my Shark. I haven´t heard from Staffan since the race, but I saw that he´d been a member of your Shark society. I hope to hear from you again! /Ulf
