What this video covers

A race report from Drøbaksund and Oskarsborg covers conditions and fleet positions approximately one hour after the last start of what is described as a VM.▶ 0:00 Wind runs at 7–8 metres per second with stronger gusts, and a significant counter-current makes hugging the shoreline the favoured tactical choice to minimise current exposure.▶ 0:00 Short-handed boats are positioned at the northern side of Håøya.▶ 0:29 The leading boats identified are Våghals and Katvaran, both approaching Oskarsborg.▶ 1:09 Wind is forecast to build further until 18:00, then ease after sunset, setting up an uncertain overnight leg as the fleet exits the fjord.▶ 1:22 The report is brief and field-based, delivered from the water near Oskarsborg rather than from a race office.▶ 0:00
