Norsk Knarrklubb Norwegian Knarr Association Dear competitors and guests – Welcome to Oslo! It is with great pleasure I welcome you all to the 49th International Knarr Championship in Oslo. The local Knarr owners are looking forward to seeing their boats being sailed by the world’s best Knarr sailers. We will certainly read the regatta results carefully during the IKC-week, and look for our own boat’s results. Erling Kristofersen – the designer of the Knarr - lived and worked here in Oslo, and the first Knarrs were sailed here 70 years ago. I learned to sail in one of his smaller boats – an “Oslo Jolle”. It was my late grandfather who bought it to my late father just before the WW II. Like the Knarr, it sailed beautifully. It was also made of wood, and it also leaked like nothing else each spring when we set in the water. Many of the designs by Erling Kristofersen are still sailed in Norway today. Maybe this proximity to the designer’s work, and the start of the Knarr racing community, is one reason why we in Oslo tend to be a little conservative in our Knarr-community☺. In this IKC we will sail mostly wooden boats, all with wooden mast, and many with a lot of the original equipment. All boats are maintained by their owner themselves, and some, like number ON11 and number ON14, are even completely restored by the owners in their spare time. I hope everyone will enjoy the charm and the authenticity of the boats. I believe the boat owners, who kindly lend their bellowed boats to you, and Morten and his team, have done a great job to prepare the fleet for this year’s IKC. We have done our best to stage what we hope will be a memorable IKC. The Royal Norwegian Yacht Club has been most helpful and supportive in helping us preparing the races. We have put 4 49th International Knarr Championship 2017 August 4th – August 12th together an onshore program with a great mid-week dinner at the Oslo Opera House. The closing dinner will be held at the FRAM museum, where we will dine on deck of this famous ship that belonged to the explorer Fridtjof Nansen. Nansen used the Fram to explore the North Pole and later the ship was used by Roald Amundsen on his famous expedition to be the first man to reach the South Pole. The 49th IKC would not be possible without the support of our many sponsors. Your support is essential for the organization of this week. We welcome and thank the companies that have decided to attach their name to the upcoming week. Some of the world’s best sailors will be here in Oslo, so you have chosen an excellent occasion to promote your company. Last, but certainly not least, I wish to thank the KNS Yacht Club and everyone in NKK for their devotion and help to make IKC2017 happen. I wish you all a wonderful week in Oslo and may the best team win! Alexander Arnesen Norwegian Karr Association Admiral 5 49th International Knarr Championship 2017 August 4th – August 12th Dear Sailors and Friends, On behalf of the Royal Norwegian Yacht Club, I am pleased to welcome you to the 2017 International Knarr Championship in Oslo.

    Revised December 2014 NORTHERN CALIFORNIA PERFORMANCE HANDICAP RACING FLEET (NCPHRF) PART 1 RULES AND GUIDELINES FOR HANDICAPPING PART 2 ASSISTANCE IN FILLING OUT AN APPLICATION FOR HANDICAP Yacht Racing Association 1070 Marina Village Parkway, Suite 202-G Alameda, CA 94501 www.yra.org [email protected] Phone 415-771-9500 Fax 415-276-2378 Part 1, Page 1 PART 1 Rules & Guidelines I. DEFINITION The NCPHRF Committee is a Standing Committee of the Yacht Racing Association of San Francisco Bay. Its sole function is to determine the speed potential of yachts that meet the criteria of Section II below. It will assign rating values to yachts for which a rating application is filed. Such values will be in seconds per mile and assume a mixture of Around the Buoy and Windward Leeward racing on San Francisco Bay and the surrounding area. The NCPHRF Committee recognizes that the handicaps will be used in a variety of races ranging from protected bays, estuaries and lakes to open oceans. Therefore, the Committee has no responsibility for the seaworthiness or safety of yachts rated, but cites the US SAILING Fundamental Rule 4 part 1: "It shall be the sole responsibility of each yacht to decide whether or not to start or to continue to race." A variety of conditions are encountered ranging from typical late spring and summer afternoon conditions with a 15 to 25 knot wind range to the milder winds often encountered in the fall, winter and early spring ranging from 5 to 15 knots. Windward/Leeward courses and racing in the seasons of lighter winds have become more popular.

  • Secrets of the Viking Navigators How the Vikings Used Their Amazing Sunstones and Other Techniques to Cross the Open Ocean Leif K
    Leif K. Karlsen has 45 years of experience at sea, including many years in the North Atlantic where he served as a professional navigator and radio eectronics officer with the U.S. Merchant Marine. Author Karlsen, left, at the helm of the replica Viking ship the "Borgundknarren" during an open ocean voyage in the Fall of 1996. "Borgundknarren" is from the Sunnmore Museum, in Alesund, Norway. Using clues he gleaned from the Icelandic Sagas, his experience as a professional navigator, and from his voyages on “Borgunknarren“—a 60' Viking ship replica—Leif K. Karlsen reveals the secrets of Viking navigation. Karlsen has done extensive research on the Viking "sunstone" and "horizon board" and explains how they work. This is an interesting, valuable, and educational contribution to the understanding of the Vikings’ success as navigators and seamen. —Dr. Alf Lunder Knudsen, Editor Emeritus Western Viking The Norwegian Voice of America -Since 1889 If “cutting edge” can be used in relation to Viking navigation, this information is definitely it. Leif Karlsen is the world’s foremost scholar on the Viking sunstone. His well-researched and intelligent work on Viking navigation examines the sagas and combines that information with the experiential and practical research of just trying it out. It’s a comprehensive and accessible study that’s also a compelling analysis of the secrets of Viking navigators, and their unparalled success as sea-born explorers. —Kristine Leander, Ph.D., Director, Leif Erikson International Foundation Most navigators have heard of Viking sunstones, but few realize they are more than legend. Leif Karlsen has brought them to life.

  • Information About the LYS-System
    LYS – Nordic Handicapping System - 2003 Information about the LYS-system The purpose of the LYS system is to give yachts of different classes the option to race against each other. The LYS number indicates what the “best” yacht of each respective kind is able to perform to. It is based on race statistics, which is a comparison between different types of yachts and experience. The table is split in four groups, keelboats, sport boats, dinghies and multihull yachts. The corrected times are normally calculated by simply multiplying the elapsed times by their respective LYS-figures. The LYS-values are applied similarly in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.
