My name
is Anders Dahlsjö I’m born 1972 and I live in Onsala, south of Gothenburg in Sweden ,
with my wife Malin and our two daughters.
Between 2013 and 2016 I sailed a lot of catamaran, bought a F18 and then started sailing M32 together with Hans Wallén in his Wallén Racing (WAR). 2016 the M32 was the boat in the world matchracing tour and we finished 8 in the final i Marstrand, Sweden.

After VOR 08/09 I resumed working as a mechanical design engineer
at Volvo Penta. But the sailing didn´t stop. Sailing various match racing and keelboat regattas, as a
part of Berntsson sailing team I was 3d on the World Match Racing Tour 2011.
For 2012 I made a successful racing program with my own boat mainly on
doublehanded races on the Swedish westcoast and in Norway.
In the
2008/2009 Volvo Ocean race I finished 4th
onboard Ericssons Nordic entry E3 where I sailed as a bowman. But I erned a lot
of respect for my helming capabilities, especially heavy air downwind and
reaching where I shared duties with Magnus Olsson ,
our skipper. Besides sailing I was responsible for the boats “interior systems”
together with the boatcaptain, Jens Dolmer
and primary responsible for onboard boat building repair. The VOR was an
awesome experience and I would love to get another go at getting podium
position.
My
professional sailing career started 2000 with the Swedish Americas cup
challenge (Victory Challenge). Were I was one of the creators of the challenge,
as I had been sailing since 1997 for Mr Jan H Stenbeck who was the main sponsor
for the challenge. My first responsibility was to find a boat and suitable
designers, among them Mani Frers. Within Victory Challenge I was in charge of
first our training boat, former NZL-38 and kept her in a sailing condition for
the team’s crew training and crew testing program. As the syndicate grew bigger
I focused more on sailing and became boat captain on SWE-73 Orm that Victory
Challenge used for most of the challenger series 2002 in Auckland .
As a
former competitive swimmer for eleven years I’m an excellent crewmember with
194 cm of length and 95 kg weight, I’m fit to do hard fycical work aswell as
trimming, helming and navigation. On the Victory Challenge I sailed as mastman
on every single race we participated in.
I
graduated from Chalmers technical university in Gothenburg 1994 and have worked
a total of 9 years as a mechanical design engineer with Semcon engineering in
Gothenburg. My technical knowledge with boats is good as I was boatcaptain for
the AC campaigns trainingboat (ex. NZL 38) and SWE 73. For NZL 38 I was running
the maintenance program and structural examinations as we were limited with
personnel.
Since
2003 when the cup campaign was over I went back to my old profession as a
mechanical designer at Volvo Penta in Gothenburg. But I kept myself busy
sailing match racing and different regattas, see my merits below. In 2004 I ran
a project to win Tjörn Runt ,
Sweden ’s biggest
sailing event (boat wise), sailed 21 august 2004. Where we were the all over winners of the race and got a lot of media
attention.
In 2005 I
joined Victory Challenge for a second challenge for the Americas Cup. I worked as boat captain and sailed as mast man
on all the ACT regattas. I also sailed as bowman in Magnus
Holmberg ’s matchracingcrew on the World tour events.
I have
been sailing since I was a kid but the interest really took off during watching
the 93-94 Whitbread round the world race. I decided I wanted to do more
offshore sailing and planed an Atlantic crossing. After military services I
left Sweden
with three friends from the military to sail south, with the same boat I later
was successful racing and in 2004 won Tjörn runt. We sailed to the Canaries Islands
but of budget reasons never crossed to the West Indies .
On the tour back we sailed through the Azores and being bored with light
weather we decided to wait for a low-pressure to hopefully be able to hang on
up to England. The first 48 hours we averaged 10 knots SOG. We arrived back in Sweden
April 30, 1995 .
After this I was hooked.
