Quick questions:

  • Have you participated before?

No, but two of my crewmembers has participated several times, one overall victory. 

  • Why are you participating in Fully Crewed class?

I have sailed some races short-handed, but prefer fully crewed sailing.
My boat is not suitable for shorhanded sailing as rigged for club/fullcrew racing, having spinnakers and different headsails. 

  • What are your expectations to sail during nighttime, midsummer?

I have done a lot of overnight sailing/racing, e.g ARC, Skagen Race, Baltic Sea Race and Fastnet Race.  

  • How did you get to know about Bergen Shetland Race?

Through the sailing society, friends and media. It has been on the bucket list for several years.  

  • Planning any activities during the stay?

We'd love to look around as much as possible during our stay at Shetland.
