What this video covers

Marius wins first place in the double-handed class of a Skagen race, sailing through cold, wet conditions with an injured finger sustained at the start.▶ 0:05 The spinnaker filled before the halyard was set, the sheet caught his finger, and he sailed the entire race without a glove despite the pain worsening afterward.▶ 0:24 Cold wind and heavy rain made the conditions the harder challenge throughout.▶ 0:43 The decisive tactical move came at Bastø, where Marius and his crew split west after rounding Tarternese while the fleet went the other way, building a gap quickly.▶ 1:12 They judged wind more important than current in the fjord — a call that paid off.▶ 1:29 In the final stretch they sailed alongside 50-50, finding their own boat slightly faster but lower, while 50-50 pointed higher; Marius rates their VMG as marginally better on that wind angle upwind, consistent with their rating.▶ 1:40 The race featured light air, real pressure, wind shifts, spinnaker and jib variations, and a closing beat.▶ 0:58
