THE LEG
This leg was all about Sweden, as the fleet sailed south down the west coast, and then north up the east coast to the finish at the capital. Local land effects including sea breezes, drainage winds, and the bands of strong and light pressure created by the islands and shorelines, dominated tactical thinking.
