Emil Järudd and Hanna Jonsson won their first major title together by taking the world cup premiere in the Nacra 17 sailing class in Mallorca. They dominated throughout the week, finishing on the podium in eleven of 14 races. According to Järudd, they trained intensively over the winter with a focus on technique and speed, which allowed them to sail more relaxed despite being slightly ill during the week.
The Swedish Sailing Federation's team captain, Magnus Grävare, noted that Sweden had 31 sailors at the world cup premiere, all impressing with strong performances, and highlighted that it took Järudd seven years in the Nacra class to reach this level.
