<p>Today is another sunny day here in Ystad and the first day of the sailing competition is underway. Eight boats - two boats per country and three sailors in each boat.</p>

<p>Preparation is crucial to succeed as a crew. Everybody needs to know their role and place in the small sailing boat. Before departure the crews mops up every drop of water in the boat to make it lighter.<br />
Each country has its own tactic to win and was not very keen to reveal&nbsp;anything prior to the competition.</p>

<p>Norway has won several times and last year was no exception. The Norwegians believe in their team and sees Sweden as its biggest competitor.</p>

<p>Sweden believe that this year will be their year.</p>

<p>Finland wants revenge on the Swedes from last year&nbsp;who beat them with less than a ship length. They are hoping for the best but the most important thing for them is to have fun.</p>

<p>Denmark has a new crew but is eager to give the Norwegians a fight for the gold.</p>

<p>The sailing competition will continue tomorrow and todays results will come up later today.</p>
