Why was that? Certainly a large number of the 5mJI yachts were represented in Scandinavia but this in itself is not reason enough to explain why so many boats went to the start line. What was needed was a committed sailing club like the KSSS with a professional team both on land and water, then sponsors who helped to meet the significant costs, waters on which the wind and waves helped cre- ate a sailing experience and, finally, numerous owners and crews who took the time to come to the Island of Sandhamn and were also prepared to meet the logisti- cal costs. The participants in the Classic and Modern 6mJI yachts all felt they were in good hands. The ISMA would like to thank the KSSS and the sponsors once again for their efforts. As you know, this is not the first time we have been to Sandhamn and – we’ll be back! The question is what could have been done even better? I would like to take the liberty here of expressing two personal thoughts. One is intended for the KSSS: The waiting time between two races should not be ex- cessive for regatta meetings which are held under such demanding conditions. The other thought is intended for the ISMA, our world- wide organisation for this yacht class: We have all seen how many excellent, young sailors Race courses A and B have given their commitment to the crews. Most of them however do not just sail 6mJIs. As a general rule parate locations for Classic and Modern 6mJIs. they also race in sportboats. For these young people the Now all that remains is for me to wish all friends of the 2 miles from the leeward to the windward mark are too 6mJI Class a short Winter and to hope that nevertheless long. There are too few actions and too little movement there will be sufficient time remaining for us to carry along the way. If our aim is to keep the class open for out maintenance on our 6mJIs. young people the ISMA must consider whether our re- gattas could be made even more attractive for the crews Mit 54 Teilnehmern am World Cup 2005 der 6mJI in by, in a first step, reducing the course length by 10- Sandhamn, Schweden hat die diesjährige Beteiligung 15%, this would correspond to a 1.7 to 1.8 mile course. wohl alle Rekorde geschlagen.

The story Niklas Amundson was born in 1967 on the Swedish east coast close to Stockholm. At an early age his family moved to a serene and beautiful island named Marstrand on the west coast of Sweden. There he followed in his father’s footsteps and began to paint nearly as soon as he could keep a brush in his hand. Through the years Niklas’ association with the sea has continued and has taken him from the deck of a 138” sailing yacht S/S Gloria, which was owned and build by Mikael Krafft, to a Marstrand pilot boat and later to the Swedish Coast Guard. In 2011 Niklas took over the famous light house island Pater Noster, four nautical miles west of Marstrand in the West Coast archipelago, where you can visit a gallery and enjoy a stay at the small hotel there. All the time he paints continuously, drawing inspiration from his experiences both from the past and the present. In his own words “I receive a daily dose of inspiration through my work with the Coast Guard and ocean-close living.” Niklas has showed twice at the annual exhibition of The Royal Society of Marine Artists. His first participation was at the RSMA’s 55th annual exhibition held at Mall Galleries in London 1999. He is official Artist for the maiden voyage the Ship Götheborg sailed from Sweden to China and back.

  • Louhi Gold Cup 2018
    Untitled-24 1 19.6.2017 19.09 Sponsorship Opportunities About the Dragon The Dragon was designed by Johan Anker in 1929. The original design had two berths and was ideally suited for cruising in his home waters of Norway. The boat quickly attracted owners and within ten years it had spread all over Europe. In 1937 the Gold Cup was presented to the class by the Clyde Yacht Club Association. This quickly became one of the principal championships in the class and a prestigious trophy in the world of competitive yachting. The Dragon is an eternal challenge. It takes a while to get familiar with, but it's almost impossible to give up sailing with it. All the boats ft the dragon class rule, but the trimming options may vary. The Dragon has a very sophisticated layout copied by many other classes. The trimming, in addition to the tactics lead to one boat beating another. During the years 1946–1972 the Dragon was used as the three man keelboat in the Olympics. Also Finns were seen competing in the Olympic race. Several royal families have been tempted by the Dragon, with HRH Crown Prince Constantine of Greece winning an olympic Gold medal in Rome 1960 . Today over 1400 Dragons sail representing 31 diferent nationalities.
