Anna Ostling and her Wings team ensured that Abba featured highly on the playlist in the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club on Sunday night.

Sweden dominated the final day of sailing in Hamilton Harbour this week with Ostling preceding compatriot Johnie Berntsson into dock after beating Lea Vogelius, of Denmark, 3-1 in a battle for Scandinavian supremacy in Hamilton Harbour.

Ostling made no secret of her belief that her team could win the Aspen Women’s Match Racing Tour regatta this week and she came good on her promise.

“I had such a good feeling that this would be our week, that we would make it and we’ve done it,” she said.

“We made such good starts, which was something we had struggled with all week and the way we sailed I don’t think anybody would have beaten us today.

“I just have a very good team and we had such good speed in these boats. When you have that speed, you can be very relaxed as a skipper and feel like you can do anything and it will come off.”

For some of Ostling’s crew, victory in Bermuda has been decades in the making, with Elisabeth Nilsson, Anna White and Annika Carlunger having tried to win on the island for more than 20 years with various teams.

“It feels fantastic,” White said. “Anna [Ostling] had so much confidence and we thought we had an edge, but we’ve been fighting hard all the time to be on top.

“I would say that this is one our biggest wins alongside our home event and we are just so happy right now.”

While able to finish only third in Bermuda, Pauline Courtois picked up her trophy for winning the Women’s World Match Racing Tour championship for the fifth straight year.

Being awarded the trophy temporarily lifted the pain from Courtois’ face as she still struggles to walk after an injury suffered when falling from a scooter on Friday morning.

“We are really happy to win the world tour again,” she said. “It’s a big achievement for all the team and we work so hard.

“That winning feeling always stays the same, as it is easier to get to the top than stay at the top. I’m really proud of this team, as we know all the teams want to beat us and we have to work harder each year to be better and better.”

But Courtois is not content with staying among the women’s fleet and is starting to formulate plans to race against the men in the open division.

“We want to sail against the open teams and take on the best,” Courtois said.

“We need to work hard if we are going to make the semis or the finals in an open event, but we think we are not too far off being able to do it.

“We are really lucky to have the women’s tour and it gives the women here so much more opportunity to compete, but we would really love the chance to go into the open division.”
