The Shannon 50 required the rudder aft to aid in dock- ing and maneu vering, and a centerboard option for shoal draft.

  • Grain Race 1939
    Länspumpen - Sjöfartshistorisk tidskrift sid 1(7) Den sista stora vetekappseglingen 1939 Bo Jershed Exporten av vete från Spencer Gulf i Sydaustralien till Europa kom igång så smått i slutet av 1870-talet och växte därefter snabbt. I tidens anda blev det naturligt att jämföra de hemvändande segelfartygens överfartstider och så småningom utvecklade sig detta till en inofficiell kappsegling. Den första större vetekappseglingen, ”Grain Race”, ägde rum säsongen 1920/1921 då ett trettiotal ”windjammers” deltog. Vetekappseglingarna blev en informell tävling där det gällde att vara snabbast från Spencer Gulf i Australien till orderhamnarna Falmouth i England eller Queenstown, numera Cobh, på Irland. Avfärden skedde från Australien normalt februari-maj och efter ca 100 dagar var man framme vid orderhamnen och fick besked vart man sedan skulle gå och lossa lasten. Dessa årliga kappseglingar fortsatte ända fram till krigsutbrottet 1939 och detta års kappsegling med elva ”windjammers” blev den sista stora kappseglingen. Efter kriget skedde även kappseglingar 1948 och 1949 men i dessa deltog endast ett fåtal fartyg. Bakgrund I takt med ångfartygens och motorfartygens frammarsch samt öppnandet av Suez- och Panamakanalen 1869 resp. 1914 trängdes de stora segelfartygen ut från sina historiska trader och efter första världskriget återstod för dessa fartyg egentligen bara salpeterlaster från Chile och vetelaster från södra Australien. Salpetertraden stagnerade under 30-talet i samband med att chilesalpeter kom mer och mer att ersättas av industriellt framställd konstgödsel. Vetetraden med segelfartyg fortsatte däremot fram till andra världskriget och även några år efter. För driftiga redare var det fortfarande möjligt att på denna trad få en lönsamhet med avskrivna eller billigt inköpta segelfartyg under förutsättning att driftskostnaderna hölls nere.
