What this video covers

Thomas Nilsson interviews Øyvind and Morten Knudsen regarding their silver-medal performance in the Havsvalas regatta. The crew completed the race in conditions featuring heavy pressure, with wind speeds reaching 12 knots that felt closer to 15.▶ 0:39 A critical tactical decision occurred after rounding a mark near shallow water, where the team chose to head up rather than gybe in 25–27 knots of wind, maintaining speeds of 12 knots under gennaker.▶ 2:32 Their primary competitor, Masu, attempted a gybe in the same conditions but suffered a gennaker wrap around the forestay, which persisted until the finish line.▶ 2:01 The crew utilized the Track Track app to monitor their position relative to other competitors throughout the race.▶ 0:54 With this result, the team has secured a full set of medals—gold, silver, and bronze—over the past three years.▶ 4:04 Following the event, the crew plans to transit via the Gøtakanalen to Gøteborg.▶ 4:30
