JOHNIE BERNTSSON
Johnie Berntsson (born 11 August 1972) began his sailing career in an Optimist dinghy at the age of 9, but quickly jumped over to a keelboat at aged 12yrs. Since then, he has raced at the local level to gradually broaden the competition arena, first within Sweden and then within Europe.
Johnie made his entrance to match racing in 1997 and competed all over the world winning the European Championship (2009), Congressional Cup (2009) and Scandinavian Championship (2008). He is a three-time champion at the Bermuda Gold Cup (2008, 2014, 2023) and won the Swedish Match Racing Championship in 2022. In 2011, the Swedish Sailing Federation crowned Berntsson and his team “Swedish Sailors of the Year.”
