What this video covers

Maren Magda and Carlotto Bok won the ORC Doublehanded World Championship on a Landmark 43, becoming world champions after winning the European title the previous year.6:54 They started the race poorly, falling roughly 45 minutes behind the three other competitive boats after routing errors in the outer Oslofjord and near Arendal, but reset after rounding Makrellbåen and sailed back into contention through superior boat speed and sail selection.7:47 A rival boat's navigational error at Rakkebåen handed them the lead they held to the finish.11:22 Managing constant sail changes on a heavy, wet Landmark 43 was the primary physical challenge; rest came in 15–20-minute intervals on the cabin sole.8:55 Sigmund Hertzberg and Tim Sandberg won Class B aboard Herokin, a Dehler 30, having sailed together since 2015.13:59 They executed a westward routing strategy early in the Oslofjord to build a lead and credited their Skagerrak experience and a decision to disable AIS display on the chartplotter — transmitting but not watching competitors — for maintaining focus.14:56 Lotta Jonsson and Susan Penty, the sole all-women crew sailing a First 31.7, ran well early using a spinnaker through Drøbakksund but lost time getting caught in a low-pressure center south of Arendal before recovering to finish respectably.2:34
