Danish National Championship 2006

Ebeltoft

August 18th - 20th

Report by Thomas Glas, translated by Peter Scheuerl

After too light winds in France, the Danish championship is on. For the ones never been at a Danish champ: What does this regatta brings with it?

First it means a quite high entry fee, 100 Euro this year. A Danish championship also means getting up early, like in the last years, start was at 10:00.

Why driving this far? First, this years Danish championship was held in Ebeltoft, that's on Jütland just one bay on from Kalovig (north of Aarhus, where many Germans get their "Green Sails" from), so no ferry to take and the driving distance manageable. So it was no surprise that beside the "Halfdane" Gunter six more "Nordlicher" (German Lake Sailors) attended.

A Danish championship also means: Wind. But since Kieler Woche he hardly showed up and during this weekend it wasn't exactly blowing. But it was enough for 8 races, all quite fair and nice.

Further Danish championship means: Full meal plan. As every year it was plenty, so the entry fee isn't that high in the end. Also the first ten got really nice prices.

It also means: small fishery village and a nice sailing area. Ebeltoft is not that small, but is located at a pictorial bay.

It means: Lots of relaxed Danes, plus a Swede � made a starter list of 42. By the way, the communication problems are neglectable...

A Danish champ means: Lots of relaxed Danes who are terrible fast on the water. The fleet was very close all the time, it was quite hard to get into the top ten. Mark roundings were very close but always within the rules. There was also a Special Guest: Jørgen Holm was using Hitzis boat.

"Dane-land" also means: Eating Hot Dogs, chatting gossip, Sun and rain taking turns (more Sun this time), real toilets; and the cognisance that age does not stop you from winning. Jörgen was better than all of us. Mogens became the miracle second, the new European champ was best foreigner.

In short: Denmark is always worth a trip! Next years Danish nationals are in Roskilde, that's on Seeland. That means another highlight we haven't had this year: using the ferry!
