Sigmund Hertzberg and Tim Sandberg won the ORC Doublehanded World Championship in Class B aboard their Dehler 30, Hyrokin.0:02 The duo, who have sailed together since 2015, secured the title on home waters in the Oslofjord.0:23 Their strategy focused on tactical positioning during the early stages of the race, specifically by heading west toward Slemmestad to gain distance on the fleet before reaching Røvbak.1:05 Throughout the competition, the pair maintained focus by disabling AIS tracking on their chartplotter to avoid monitoring competitors, prioritizing their own boat speed and sail trim.5:45 Sandberg handled the majority of the steering during high-speed planing and heavy-wind conditions, utilizing skills from his background in dinghy and F-18 racing to maintain momentum through waves.6:27 The team transitioned to the Dehler 30 two years ago, moving away from a Sun Fast 3300 to better suit their preferred style of short-handed racing.3:29 Success in double-handed racing requires both sailors to act as multi-skilled operators, managing everything from weather analysis to mechanical repairs.4:20
