When it comes to Finn sailing, Denmark has a great history and tradition. 4 Olympic medals won, 10 Finn Gold Cup victories, a strong national team squad and a very active fleet of master sailors. Royal Danish Yacht Club • The Royal Danish Yacht Club is the oldest and largest sailing club in Denmark (150th anniversary in 2016) • The club is a very active club and experienced when it comes to organizing international regattas • The club has three stations north of Copenhagen: Tuborg Harbor, Skovshoved Harbor and Rungsted Harbor Large international regattas - hosted by Royal Danish Yacht Club the last 10 years: 2007 Farr40 Worlds 2015 M32 Scandinavian Series 2007 Danish Open, WMRT 2016 Danish Open, WMRT 2008 Danish Open, WMRT 2016 Match Race Europeans 2009 470 Worlds 2016 ORC-Worlds 2009 Danish Open WMRT 2016 5.5m Worlds 2011 Snipe Worlds 2016 8mR Europeans 2011 J/80 Worlds 2016 Classic Meter Yacht Cup 2013 X-Yachts Gold Cup 2017 Euro Cup 29er 2015 X-Yacht Gold Cup, X35 Worlds … and many more 2015 Sailing Champions League Venue: Skovshoved Skovshoved Harbor The proposed venue is Skovshoved Harbor, which has just been expanded and modernized with perfect facilities to host large events. The harbor can provide great services for Finn Master sailors such as: • 4 larger launching ramps • Huge areas on shore for dinghy park • Car parking • Clubhouses, changing rooms etc. • Restaurants & healthy take-away options Aerial view One of the ramps and dinghy park Map • 4 ramps • Royal Danish Yacht Club houses • Dinghy parks • Changing rooms • Grass areas • Parking • Boat-yard hall • Possible camping Sailing Area The sailing area outside Skovshoved Harbor is Øresund – the waters between Denmark and Sweden. During summer wind speed average is 8,5 knots. Direction is mainly west but for inshore races on really warm days sea breeze can build around noon. Normally there are currents of a speed of maximum of 1,0 knots. Mostly flat waters outside Skovshoved, depending on the wind direction. Temperatures in start June are around 15-20 C and on average we can expect rain of max. 60 mm. It will take about 10-15 min. to sail to the race course outside Skovshoved Harbor. Accommodation Hotels: The harbor is surrounded by a large amount of accommodation possibilities; for example the small, hip hotel ”Skovshoved Hotel” and other good hotels in a 10 min. driving distance. Camping: A large area on Skovshoved Harbor with camping possibilities, and 1 km away a luxurious camping spot on a fortress adjacent to the sea with good beaches. Airbnb: Houses and apartments close to the harbor are possible to rent out on sites like Airbnb. Social events KDY has a lot of positive experience with hosting international events on Skovshoved Harbor – lately in 2016 the ORC Worlds with 1200 sailors and the a Classic Meter Cup with 50 classic yachts and 500 sailors. For catering arrangements, social events and parties Skovshoved Harbor can offer: • Large grass fields for setup of tents as well as • A boat-yard hall that can host 600 sailors • Club houses & indoor facilities Grass fields for setup of tents Meter Yacht Cup 2016 Boat-yard hall ORC Worlds 2016 Skovshoved The area around Skovshoved is a beautiful piece of Denmark and provides popular bath houses, beaches and café’s. Skovshoved is situated only 10 km from the city center in Copenhagen – a city full of history, great restaurants, and Scandinavian design and architecture. 15 Michelin restaurants! Copenhagen is the gastronomic center of North Europe. In 2017 15 restaurants in Copenhagen have Michelin stars. Lonely Plantet on Copenhagen ”… hygge which generally means coziness, but encompasses far more,…” “Hygge” in Copenhagen Copenhagen can offer great places to arrange social happenings during the Finn Master Worlds. Also, Skovshoved is very close to the oldest amusement park in the world Bakken, where we have hosted many events for sailors during our regattas. Example of “hits” in Copenhagen: Nyhavn Tivoli Canal Tour dinner And for the ladies… Hosting the Finn World Masters on Skovshoved Harbor would create a lot of attractive excursions for family members joining. Copenhagen can provide great shopping, lunching and sightseeing. Also the area north of Skovshoved has beautiful castles, the art museum Louisiana and the Viking museum in Roskilde. We all know: Happy wife, happy life! Please vote for us The Finn World Masters has never been sailed in Danish waters, which is why it would be an honor for us at the Royal Danish Yacht Club to host this event in 2019!

    USCA11 Case: 20-11571 Date Filed: 07/12/2021 Page: 1 of 32 [PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ No. 20-11571 ________________________ D.C. Docket No. 8:19-cv-00772-VMC-JSS SAMANTHA RING, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus BOCA CIEGA YACHT CLUB INC., Defendant-Appellee. ________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida _______________________ (July 12, 2021) Before WILLIAM PRYOR, Chief Judge, LUCK, Circuit Judge, and MARKS,* District Judge. WILLIAM PRYOR, Chief Judge: * Honorable Emily Coody Marks, Chief United States District Judge for the Middle District of Alabama, sitting by designation. USCA11 Case: 20-11571 Date Filed: 07/12/2021 Page: 2 of 32 This appeal involves the private-club exception to the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. A member of a yacht club asked to bring her service dog into the clubhouse and argued that she was entitled to do so under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The club responded that it was covered by an exception for “private clubs or establishments exempted from coverage under title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” 42 U.S.C. § 12187, and it refused the member’s request for an exception to its pet policy. The relationship between the member and the club deteriorated from there. The member filed an administrative complaint with a local civil rights authority, and the club suspended her and then expelled her from its membership. The member sued for discrimination and retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Florida Civil Rights Act.
