Quick questions:

Have you participated before?
-Yes, I have participated 14 times before. First time as a crew on Kings Legend, Swan 65 1994.
With my own boat from 2003 to 2005 Enya. Omega 36 and from 2006 to 2013 with Cermedez Elan 37. Crew on Calypsoen 2014 and crew on Frøken Smilla 2025. I have been without a sailboat for a few years, but after last year's Shetland Race with Frøken Smilla, the spark was rekindled and when I had the opportunity to buy an exciting boat that belongs on the sea I just had to do it with a new boat and participate in the Shetland Race.

What is your best memory from Shetland Race?
- I especially remember the trip to Shetland in 2006, nice weather and dolphins following me for several periods, and I have many fond memories of Shetland, the regatta and good long evenings with nice sailing friends.

Why are you participating in Fully Crewed class?
- I'm participating fully crewed for comfort, I know what the North Sea can be like and it's good to have more hands.

What are your expectations to sail during nighttime, midsummer?
- Hope for nice sunsets, especially sunrise.

How did you get to know about Bergen Shetland Race?
- I have followed the Shetland Race every year since the start in 1987.

Planning any activities during the stay?
- No, nothing special, but I hope to have a good time with many old and new sailing friends in the harbor and at Lerwik Boating Club.
