Fourteen sailing boats took to an exceptionally calm Oslo fjord last week for the sixth-annual regatta held by Arctic Offshore, the in-house shipbrokers at Arctic Securities.

Team spirit was unquestionably high, as usual, even though sails remained mostly empty this year.

The 117 competitors represented a broad slice of the industry — including offshore shipowners, subsea and seismic players, shipbuilders, charterers, lawyers, bankers, financiers, analysts, vessel designers and equipment makers.
