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.0:06 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.0:23 Cold wind and heavy rain made the conditions the harder challenge throughout.0:40 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.1:10 They judged wind more important than current in the fjord — a call that paid off.1:26 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.1:50 The race featured light air, real pressure, wind shifts, spinnaker and jib variations, and a closing beat.0:53
