A suspense maintained until the end

At the start of the 11th and final leg, and after five days of sailing and paddling, only 4 points separated the top 3 teams, Karlsson/Nordblom just needing to finish in 4th place to secure their 4th win overall.
However they entered Sandhamn from the wrong direction and ended up on 5th 10 seconds behind the 4th team.
The Aussies took the line honour and had a chance of winning the overall regatta, but were beaten by one point by Ekefalk/Rosengren!
In the end, after 5 long days and 11 races, only one point separated the teams on the podium!!!
