Hi All,
A good 2009 and a lot of ISO sailing!!!
We are planning our sailing and holiday Calendar 2009 and are eager to know whether there are plans for a eurocup 2009?? As we know.. it is not easy to get the event organized.. hoping someone in sunny Italy might get the job done...:)

Hi Hans
Yes there will be a eurocup for 2009, the arrangements are being made as we speak. Just waiting to here back from a couple of clubs as to where we go.
Hans out of interest would you and your fellow sailors be interested in a eurocup in sunny sout coast of uk with the way the exchange rate is etc?

Hi Neil,
sunny south coast... is ok...
Exchange rate is ofcourse also good at the moment.. (wished we bought our sails one year later...  )
Good wether is important, distance for me is ok.. I guess Italy is important for the fleet at the moment.... so.. may be they come with double stackers and leave with stacked double stackers....
For us (i Think for Diederik also..) smaller distance combined with a nice ISO fleet is good.... We might try to get the other dutch sailors to the eurocup as well.. (will be no more than 4 boats I guess..)

Any chance of somewhere further South and warmer, with a campsite? The last 3 Eurocups were great!

Bad news.
We had been trying to organise an event with La Rochelle in conjunction with their Euroskiff event but they have just told me that they have decided to cancel it this year. We will re-look at other options.

Hi, a pitty La rochelle did not confirm, I was already beginning to plan....
I would vote for a eurocup held in south UK. Now that the class is not only british anymore, it will be challenging for us a call to action knowing that we will find all the strongest british crew....

Hi Colin,
it could be possible to organize the Eurocup in Germany. The Yacht Club Stralsund is interested to realize the event. It could take place at Stralsund, Bootshaus Friedrich Naumann Straße,

The date 20-25 of July is accepted. If you are interested, please contact me.

Hi Nik
The choices are Paignton uk or the place you said that i cant say in germany.
Which would you rather go to?
Also everybody else Marco etc what are you thoughts and Fredb would you go to either event?
Numbers are the key really to make it a successful event.

sonally I will try to attend an event part of the breizhskiff in france or swiss, if we can agree on one, and I'll do my best to visit Nik in may.
EC in UK will be really tempting, It could be an option going there without a boat (but with my sails) and finding an old hull to take back at the end of the racing, or even going there by plane if I can find a boat for rent for the racing....

Stralsund , Germany 3rd to 8th of August.
Only 550 miles from Dunkirk to Stralsund everybody. Its looks a lovely place to visit and lots to do. You can camp or campervan next to the club too. Harwich to Dunkirk is the cheaper option for the ferries too. or some people can fly to berlin only 60km away or so.
Hope to see you all there and support Nik in his efforts and to make a great euro 2009.

hallo all Iso sailors out there
Senior management has said she would like to be at Stralsund.
My idea is to have some competition for crews who find a full-blown championship a bit overpowering and would like more time to relax and explore the Baltic/german haute cuisine/beer/beach time. Format of this idea is to be agreed with the organising team, may be simply a rating based on participation in a limited number of designated races.
The ISO fleet wants to encourage all ages and abilities to be there.
The baltic in August is wonderful, I cannot say anything about what wind is likely, but weather should be settled and warm.
I also have management clearance to declare our entry in Nik's regatta in Trier where I broke my coccyx last year...
sign up now! it will be different from Garda/La Rochelle.
we are also discussing how much longer we will keep the beast - it may be our last eurocup.
best wishes from a cold place in the middle of europe

Quite unfortunately, I guess, there has been a simultaneous decision about events with a partial overlap... the Italian Nationals for ISO and Buzz will end on August 2nd, so boat+teams transfer to the baltic overnight might be tricky... We'll see what we can do. What's the feeling for the Buzz fleet? lately it seemed most take part to the EC every other year, so would be good to know if it's the same for 2009, before booking spaceships for transport...

What do you think about the following schedule
Sa 01. August Arrival
Su 02. August Sailing tour / free training
Mo 03. August 1. training
Tu 04. August 2. training
We 05. August 1. racing day 3-4 races
Th 06. August 2. racing day 3-4 races
Fr 07. August 3. racing day 3-4 races
Sa 08. August 4. racing day 3-4 races
Su 09. August Departure
1 or 2 days with cultural programm. City tour, museum, open air musical (extra charge).
So the Italian boats might have enough time to come.

If the italians boats are going to come then we should be accomodating and start on the tuesday and finish sat so five days racing, one training day on the monday, happy to run this with pete or who ever.
Can we get some kind of indication from the italian fleet if they will attend the euros if we make time for them?
If they are not going to make the effort to travel this year out of italy we need to know so we can stay with our exsisting plan of starting on monday

Hi, I did a quick check with the iso sailor I expected to be the one likely interested...
None of them confirmed he will come (but none of them told me that he will not come for sure either)
Paolo is doing a similar check for the buzz fleet
My personal feeling is that non more that 2 teams will seriously consider coming all the way, unless there is a huge number of boats likely to attend.
I think we should open (as previous year) a pre-entry form on the web: I think that if many people will register it will be more tempting for everybody, if there will be only a few pre-entry I guess people will prefer to join other events (closer)

So if the italians arent coming that leaves a lot more space on the start line for everyone else Looking forward to the event personally. |

From the information I have up to now, the Buzzes do not seem to be coming in numbers, so also the Italian lfeet will probably not travel to Germany. This could leave me free for an ISO, possibly, if I find someone... I think some Italian will like to come, even if not many, so postponing first race to Tue-Wed will be appreciated.

for info, we have booked to stay at "Hotel-Pension zum Brauhaus
Greifswalder Chaussee 45, 18439 Stralsund". This is near the railway station slightly south of the town centre. Costs €75/night for a double with (recommended by various guests from the past) an epic breakfast buffet, exactly what is required before a long day on the race course and in the protest room...

There is a place for tents at the mark Sarnowstrasse 44, 5 minutes to the boats, have a look to the dedicated page http://isoracing.org.uk/events_results/dedicated_pages/2009/2009_euro
cup_stralsund.htm . This should be very cheap. It is not a camp site, rather a sporting arena. For my son and me I have booked an appartement. Mollycoddle!!!

hallo organising committee and ISO-world
have we a) an update on how many boats may come, and b) how many may be interested in taking part in a "dumbed-down" event including maybe only one race pr day? I hope that a few who may find the prospect of days of back-to-back races a bit daunting, but want to sail in a new/interesting place, may be encouraged to come and compete with team Salter for last place.
Rules(?) approximately:
participation in the first race each day is anticipated,excluded are people who take part in all races.
rules may be changed by majority wish of the participants
prize from me will be able to be eaten and drunk
possible special race for ? single handed or whatever is the majority wish.
Buzz sailors also welcome, the speed differential is not that great at my level of competence, special allowance to be applied by majority wish.
No protests, a beer suffices for minor misdemeanours, a round of beer for major ones. Not too many Hyde sails are anticipated in this class grouping.
Low poits scoring for the 2nd division fleet but we run with the pros. However we reserve the right to give the prize to somebody other than the points winner if the spirit of the prize is not upheld
The committee are aware in outline of this concept, not the details, and have agree in outline. If nobody else wants to play, we will come last as usual, as we really don't want to do all the races.
My objective is to encourage people who might not otherwise come.
sign up now!

Hi All
Here we are in May, and according to the Euro Cup page there are only 5 boat going.
I was about to book the ferry but I am thinking of not going if there are only a hand full of boats.
Please can we get an idear of who is going. Nick has done a lot of work to get things going. If it is going to be like the other Euro Cup meeting I have been to then it will be a great event,
Come on and supoort your Class.
Hope to see you all at Calshot

Is anyone else thinking of coming to the beautiful Baltic in August? 9 boats (including one that is for sale - 1195) is enough to have fun sailing together but not enough to justify a major event organisation.
For sailors who have concerns that they may have a lonely time at the back of the fleet, don't worry as I will keep you company!
Nik has spent a lot of time trying to get everything organised, the best support he can get is lots of boats entering. If you are wondering whether to take the step then NOW is the moment to book.
(Has anyone else seen the pics on yachtsandyachting.com of the Volvo race boats creaming through the Irish sea at near 30Knots - just like big ISO's!)
best wishes from Germany

Hi, I have been waiting to see if any more boats are going to Germany.
With only 9 boats I do not think that I will be going.
The cost is the other factor that makes me reluctant to go.
Sorry to have to let the other boats down, but I will be keen to go next year.

Hallo ISO world, is there anyone out there who is thinking of coming and has not yet got their name on the list? We don't want to lose "critical mass" at this time, otherwise the whole event may collapse. There remains a possibility of some Italian participation, and hopefully a few more entries will be confirmed at shorter notice.
I have sailed on the Baltic some years ao on the way home from the Tall Ships Race in 1972, the weather then (also early August) was wonderful and there was some wind, warm water (not as Garda but for North Sea sailors i's like a bath). It's a beautiful part of the world and I would encourage you to have a look at the Stralsund website as on the dedicated event page.
Possible distractions (apart from what Nik has already described) include a brewery tour, fresh fish for the fanatics, and many more.
Any specific questions relating to Germany or help with accommodation, please contact Nik, or me richard(DOT)salter(AT)t-online(DOT)de . (for those of you who don't know me, my wife is german so language is no problem).
look forward to a successful event,

Hi folks,
what has happpened? Why you don't want to come to the EC?
1) Stralsund is an excellent sailing area.
2) Stralsund is a lovely town and we camp nearly in the center.
3) It is cheap - 230€ only, includes fee, camping and breakfast.
4) No road toll (except Switzerland for the Italians).
5) It is not too far, 1200km from London or 1400km from Milano. La Rochelle has 900km from London and 1200km from Milano.
6) Berlin Airport not far - 270km.
7) Social events. Beer and wine are very cheap in Germany.
8) There are enough translators: Richard, Ute, my sons and me. A lot of people in Germany are able to speak English.
Dave retracted, Neil is uncertain, there are 7 crews only. What can we do to motivate you to come. There were very few boats at the last races. Is the class dieing? Do we watch the last convulsions?
Cancelling the EC in the last moment will not remain unnoticed. What do we want to offer to motivate an organizer next year?
The work for preparation is done. Now we need some boats. You're cordially invited to come. All who have not definitely decided to come, are invoked: Make the move, support the class, have a fantastic week, register for the EC.
Those looking for a crew, I have two sons, but 1 boat only. We will find more sailors in Stralsund.
If we have less than 8 boats, we can organize an alternative programme for those who are hell-bent on coming: Two boats are in Stralsund anyway, Richard and me. There are some interesting events during that time:
1) Sa 1st of August: Blue band of the Strela sound: Long distance race to Neuendorf, with party at the harbour.
2) Wednesday race, handicap race against local boats in the late afternoon and evening.
3) Reduced race activities 6 races, 2 days
4) Round Hiddensee race, special event for catamarans and yachts to be clarified for us.
5) ISO sailing tours around the "Bodden" the shallow coastal waters of Stralsund and Greifswald
6) Chartering a yacht, going round Ruegen island
7) .... I will find something interesting else to make the week an unforgettable impression.
In Germany we call this: Advertising mouldy beer. Could be my last attempt.
The discussion has been opened. I wait for answers.
Cheers Nik

Hi Nik,
I can only speak for the Buzzes... the fleet usually go to the EC every other year, no matter the location... there was only one boat in Garda 2005, 3 in LaRochelle 2007, so it is not surprising that also 2009 follows the rule. I have contacted those non-UK Buzz sailors I know, but I guess the chance to come and find no boats to compete with is not so attractive... for italians, the problem is that dates are too close to our Nationals. For most of the teams that would mean drive directly from the Nationals to Stalsund without the chance to get back home, and sail just upon arrival... a little too much, I am afraid. And for some getting a long row of days off work could be a problem (for me and Debora it is for sure!). But this applies to the Buzzes, not sure about the ISO.
Hope someone will decide to come, I guess you have been doing a lot of work to organize.
Cheers
Paolo

Is anybody there? Is the website still visible in UK? Not a single post from the UK on the website in response to Nik's appeal appears to be a sign of a class not in good health. Please say something, whether you who have provisionally entered are contemplating pulling out, or whether you are coming anyway.
Event organisers have just so much patience, and then it runs out. Please help make this one happen.
(or have you all gone to Italy to try to sell your boats?)

As josh says, some of us are definitely coming so the event is going ahead in some form. Actually the alternative program sounds great...
I have spent a lot of time further north in the Baltic so I know how nice it is in summer.
Looking forward to meeting up in a Hanseatic port.
See you soon
Colin and Waifor

I'm still here, but been way too busy for sailing this year. Work, running, cycling and working on the new ISO website have been taking over my diary.
New ISO website is due to be released very soon.

Hi Nik, I am using Josh post. It seems you are doing a good job of organising the Euro cup. Do you know how many ISO are coming? Is there a possibility of electric hook up at the camp site? because I hope it will be hot and we will need to use a cool box. Thanks Nik.

for info, Nik is away for a few days without email access, he is the only person who really knows what is going on.
Also, we may have a lay day on the Wednesday, allowing for other activities, or to take part in the club's wednesday race. Another possibility is a brewery tour.....
There should be an extra boat there sailed by the club's young hotshoes, but I can't say what overall numbers will be, depends on the "maybe's". |

Hi Mike,
we will change the camp site to a more familiar location. I think electric hooks will be available. More Informations will come soon. Look at the website: http://www0.fh-trier.de/~rudolph/eurocup2009/ISOEurocup2009.html
I expect 8 boats (with Demos 9???).
Cheers Nik

Stralsund was FUN! Wonderful sailing arena sheltered from waves but not wind, good wind all day, good racing (14 races in 4 days), good organisation, good company, etc. Where else would the last place in the fleet helm get given a Star to sail in the weekly Wednesday regatta (and I got 3rd in class having never sailed a star before)?
Full report will be compiled and posted soon, suffice to say that the yong hotshoes from Stralsund won the event from Hans/Maarten, but had to stay on their toes as the final margin was 6 pts.
For interest, winning boat 690 loaned from StSG on Bodensee (thanks to them) used Sobstad sails including an old pink-stripe main of mine which I believe to be 828's original.
Watch this space for more detailed report and results

The Eurocup was superb. What a wonderful, friendly, sunny place to sail.
Close racing all week and I have never seen such efficient race management.
When can we go back!
Colin
p.s. Special thanks to my excellent crew Kris (aka Waifor).

This was a great Eurocup, the wind and weather were ideal, the sailing areas varied and well suited to dinghy racing. The social side was also excellent, and Nik and the Stralsund home team ran an efficient and enjoyable regatta. The winners were well deserved, quickly adapting to a borrowed boat and sailing it very well. Definately worth another visit. Dave |

Those that didn't come missed an absolutely fantastic eurocup, there was sun, sea and sand (and lots of ladybirds). The racing was close and exciting, the weather was sunny and nearly every different strength of wind (all in one day as well). We had three different sail areas in four days all ran by a fantastic race officer (who even invited us for a blast in his racing yacht named intoxication after the eurocup). Everyday started with a super breakfast and i have never seen results appear so fast at the end of the day.
We also took part in the blue ribbon race where we raced to an island 20 miles away and then put tents up (which was very kindly taken by a wooden yacht). We had a great party with cheap beer then had our own informal race back the next day against nik, conrad and the afore mentioned intoxication with Thomas our race officer at the helm.
The organisation of it was top notch and everything was planned perfectly so a huge thank you to Nik.
