My Story

Facing high seas, 15 m/s downwind sailing passing the sunset, trimming the spinnaker during the entire 3-hour shift while getting closer to the Hoburgen, the southernmost part of Gotland. The entire crew is wet, hungry, and tired and got a 2-hour sleep before sailing upwind against Visby and to the Almagrundet lighthouse at the entry of Stockholm’s archipelago. As many times before, we face the light winds around the lighthouse, still fighting. After some hours in the early morning and after 50 hours of racing we cross the finish line. Sigh, third place again! Maybe next year?

Gotland Runt have always inspired Henrik. The teamwork, the challenge, and the possibility to push the limits even further are what keep Henrik doing this year after year. The same characteristics that brought him to Valoriim, always aiming for better design properties, meeting deadlines faster, and working for a more sustainable world.
