USS har just haft sin årliga regatta med fler klasser. Där även 606’or var med och seglade. Det blev inte så många båtar, endast 4 st, 2 båtar från Uppsala,1 från Hudiksvall och 1 från Sundsvall. Det blev tight om förstaplatsen där Johan Mattson/Mats Wahlberg på SWE475 och SWE813 med Åke Medén/Anna-Lena Nilsson slogs om första platsen. Vinnare blev Johan/Mats på SWE475.

Nu ser vi fram emot SM i Åmål 13-15 augusti och regattan i Stockholm 4 – 5 september. Om ni inte redan anmält er till SM så gör det så snabbt som möjligt. NoR med info om boendeförslag finns här ==>

Klart besked från regering och folkhälsomyndigheten att nuvarande restriktioner fortsätter att gälla maj månad ut och att vi därmed tvingats att ställa in Riks Cup #2 i Hudiksvall. Vi hoppas att vi kommer att kunna segla en Riks Cup i Hudiksvall våren 2022.
