Dear Sailors and Guests – Welcome to Wonderful Copenhagen
It is a great honor on behalf of the Danish Knarr Association to welcome you to the 47th International Knarr Championship in Copenhagen. The event is held together with Royal Danish Yachtclub in the newly re-build Skovshoved Harbour.
We look forward to a fantastic week with friendly competition on the water and lots of social activities afterwards in the Knarr village. Our IKC chairman Ib Ussing Andersen and his team of volunteers have worked hard to give you all a good experience.
All boats are in top shape, many of them with new sails. Together with world class judge Christian Lerche it should guaranty fair and tough races on the water. We cross our fingers for good weather with lots of wind.
We would like to recognize our Regatta Partners and program advertisers, who have made it possible to offer skippers and crew members an exquisite level of hospitality. Free beer, wine and good food will be served after the races in the Knarr Village lounge, where we also will have our daily price giving ceremony.
The IKC is a premier sailing event with some of the World’s best amateur sailors. And the unique format with daily rotation of boats guaranties, that the best skip-per and crew after the 15 scheduled races is the right winner. Sponsors, spouses and other interested will have the opportunity to watch these intense races first hand on the water from our VIP boat.
May the best team win and take good care of our lovely boats out there!

Land Rover use their sponsorships as a showroom, showing how their Car Technology can be used in a technically difficult sport such as sailing. So it is not just a matter of getting a logo exposed - It is a tough bargain to get more individuals to drive Land Rover.
The message is fairly clear: “If you drive a Land Rover or sail a Knarr, you typically have a younger “mind set” than your birth certificate indicates.” Individuals who are dedicated to nature, experiences and, exquisite design.
Worldwide: Extreme Sailing SeriesRaces are based upon a thorough commercial concept, where sailing is made available to a broad level of sports enthusiasts without the sport losing its exclusivity. A global project with intensive media attention, unforgettable events, lots of excitement and not least a global communication plat-form. Land Rover is the global event - and the main sponsor. Danish SAP Extreme Sailing Team, with Jes Gram Hansen and Rasmus Køstner, participates for the fourth consecutive year in the race. They’re in the lead of the series.
At Nordic level: M32 SeriesHere we really have action with embossed stage sailing in the center of large Nordic ports, just like Extreme Sailing Series globally. The race form is the same as known from the Extreme Sailing Series, but even more lively and it certainly takes its crew. Danish Team Trifork participates with Jes Gram Hansen and Rasmus Køstner who recently won a 3rd place in Oslo.
In Denmark: International Knarr Championship (IKC)IKC is the common icon of the Knarr class, and the guiding star in all the worlds Knarr sailing. The parry ashore is great and continuous, after a long day on the water, and with the guarantee of sporty success. IKC2015 has already ensured the supreme best competition on the water ever. The 21 Knarr boats are trimmed, so that the speed difference is nearly non-existent, and the pursue is 15 races. North Sails is the sponsor of new sails on the boats where an update is needed.
When Land Rover enters into a sponsorship, they go all the way to provide the sailors and spectators an “WOW” expe-rience. Says Peter Böckel: “When we participate, we must provide the extras that makes it delicious. It is not until you reach the in the margins that sponsorship provides value. This is where many sponsorships “dry” out “.
All good stories have to have a happy endingAlso here. Peter Böckel became more and more inspired during the dialogue with Knarr club on IKC sponsorship. In fact, “love affair”, is probably the right word. In love with the Knarr and the design with the beautiful shape, along with the environment surrounding the class. Peter drives a Range Rover Sport himself, so there was really no other way for him than to purchase a Knarr. A new crew in the Knarr class, Peter Böckel as helmsman in OD 87, “So there was no other way “ was the end comment from the Nordic commercial director of Land Rover and Jaguar.
LAND ROVER: BIG SAILING SPONSOR ON THE GLOBAL STAGEBy Nicolai Lassen

Land Rover is new as active sponsor of the Danish sailing, with their massive involvement in the Interna-tional Knarr Champion (IKC), which takes place from early August in Skovshoved. Peter Böckel (Nordic CCO - Chief Commercial Officer) – of the Land Rover / Jag-uar Group says it directly: “We are constantly seeking to position the brand - Land Rover, towards competi-tion-oriented individuals who seek the active life. Land Rover is a car you want, and the price is not essential. We sell dreams, and create the good story. “
A Land Rover brings you closer to nature, like you do when you sail a Knarr boat. It is the common DNA, because the sailing experience in a Knarr, is close to nature’s elements and there is just nothing as life creating.
Potential affluent customers in the Knarr classThe Knarr will never be - nor has it the ambition - to become a popular class for everyone. Land Rover will probably never get close to being an every man’s property. Prices start close to one million Danish Kroner and ends up beyond 3 million Danish Kroner. Although you might still be lacking a Knarr, you are telling a story about yourself with your hands on the
wheel of a Land Rover. You tell the world that you are suc-cessful and have the guts to show your success. In short, neither Knarr sailors nor owners of Land Rovers are people who succumb to the so always killing “Jante Law”.
WE HAVE THE PASSION IN COMMONBy Nicolai Lassen
Jante’s Law around the worldDenmark: Jante’s Law – refers to those who want to break out of their social groups and reach a higher position in society in general and the mentality that de-emphasizes individual effort and places all emphasis on the collective, while discouraging those who stand out as achievers. UK, Canada, Australia: Tall Poppy Syndrome – a social phenomenon in which people of genuine merit are resented, attacked, cut down, or criticised because their talents or achievements elevate them above or distinguish them from their peers. Phil-ippines: Crab Bucket Syndrome – based on the myth that if you have at least two crabs in a bucket, you don’t need to have a lid, because other(s) prevent any one member from trying to climb out of it. Japan: The nail that sticks up will be hammered down.

LEGAL ADVISOR TO THE MARITIME INDUSTRY FOR GENERATIONS
WWW.KROMANNREUMERT.COM
In July 2014, Kromann Reumert assis-ted the owners of North Sails Europe on the sale of the company to North Technology Group.
The process began in September 2013 and involved comprehensive buyer due diligence and negotiations.
The sale involved logistic challenges as the management and owners of North Sails Europe were located around the world and often travel-led for meetings with clients.
The assistance of Kromann Reumert was vital to the owners of North Sails Europe helping them navigate the complexities of a cross boarder M&A transaction on an accelerated timetable.
Kromann Reumert’s vision is ”We set the standard”.

The Norwegian Erling L. Kristofersen designed the Knarr in 1943, but World War 2 had to come to an end before the construction got wind in their sails. The Knarr and Land Rover have in common that they last forever. The Knarr is a classic day cruiser and likewise a racing boat that fits per-fectly into families with an active career – perfect in relation with the Land Rover concept.
Land Rover is a classic British car manufacturer that solely produces 4-Wheel drives – SUVs. Owned today by Indian Tata Motors, who inject millions of pounds into continued development.
Born in the sandMaurice Wilkes, employed by Rover, drew his first ideas for the first Land Rover Defender in the sand for his brother Spencer at Warwick Beach. The first model was ready in 1947 to a design based on the jeep, but with PTO (Power Take Off) for operating equipment and tools on the farm.
British industry had a desperate need to export products after the Second World War. The first prototype had the driver’s seat in the middle enabling it to be exported to markets in both left- and right-hand traffic. But since the first tentative ideas on Warwick Beach, Land Rover and the Knarr have had water and the beach as common pointers for over 60 years.

INTERNATIONAL KNARR CHAMPIONSHIP
DEED OF TRUST1.The purpose of the International Knarr Championship is to provide a competition between friends united by their love of the Knarr. While it is a competition, all participants should enter the championships pledging to be the best sportsmen possible in their relations with each other and in the handling of the boats.
The Championship shall be held every year, alternating be-tween the USA, Denmark and Norway. The first Champion-ship will be held in the United States, at San Francisco, Cal-ifornia in 1969. In the event the German Knarr fleet achieves a one-design Knarr class with a sufficient number of boats to host the IKC, Germany shall be included into the rotation as a host country every fourth year, beginning in its first year of such eligibility following an IKC hosted by the USA. Following Germany’s first hosted IKC, the ordering of host countries will continue in its previously established sequence.
2.A. Eligibility
The host country shall decide the number of skippers with crew. The visiting countries shall each be granted a minimum of five berths for their skippers with crew. The host country may enter up to twice the number of skippers with crew as each of the visiting countries. In the IKC competition at least one member of each qualifying team has to be at least a 1/3 owner in the boat that the team sailed to qualify with. In the event of a bona fide charterer skippering in their entire IKC qualification series the ownership restriction may be waived by the Admiralty of the qualifying skippers country. If a co-skipper arrangement is in place for the qualification series, one skipper must be selected prior to the IKC and shall act as skipper for the duration of the IKC in question. The champion of the previous year shall also be invited to participate provided that he is a Knarr owner of at least 1/3 of a sailing Knarr at the time of the regatta. The ownership requirement may be waived by the Admiralty of the champi-on’s country. If the previous year’s champion does not sail in the regatta, the country of the defending champion shall be granted an additional berth in the regatta.
Beginning with the IKC in 2008, and every subsequent year until it achieves host country eligibility status as pro-vided in 1(a), Germany will be entitled to one entry in the Norwegian, USA and Danish hosted IKC’s, provided each of the following requirements has first been satisfied: (i) Ger-many establishes and maintains a one design Knarr class and association, accepting the Knarr International Class rules, and being recognized by the German racing authority; (ii) Germany’s established Knarr class association has an IKC qualifying series of at least 4 races with at least 5 boats com-peting for the entry in the upcoming IKC; and (iii) Germany’s established Knarr class association accepts and adopts the IKC Deed of Trust in its entirety. Should one German team enter the total number of IKC-contestants will increase with one berth.
B. NoticeThe visiting countries shall advise the host country of the
names of the skippers that they will send before 1st April in the regatta year. If a visiting country advises the host coun-try that they will not be filling their quota, then the host shall promptly offer any vacancies to the other visiting country. If there are still unfilled berths after making the offer to the visiting countries, then the said berths may be filled by skippers who raced in their own country’s elimination series. If a vacancy is not filled by a qualified visiting skipper, then it shall be filled by the highest qualifying skipper from the host country.
C. SelectionsEach country’s national Knarr-organization will decide the
system to be used in selecting their participants.
D. Professional competitorsNo professional sailor, as defined below, shall be permitted
to sail in an IKC as skipper or crew, unless that person has sailed in 75% of the IKC Qualifying races for that year.
If the defending champion has not sailed the qualification races of the defending year, the crew he brings along shall meet the requirements of the rule.
A professional sailor is defined according to the “ISAF Sailor Classification Code 3” being in force at the time of the IKC.
(The 2006 definition of “ISAF Sailor Classification Code 3” is:“A professional Competitor is one who during the last 24 month directly or indirectly:a) has been paid for: (i) competing in a race, (ii) training, practicing, tuning, testing, maintaining or otherwise preparing a boat, its crew, sails or equipment for racing, and then competed on that boat, or in a team competition, in a boat of the same team; or
b) has been paid €1,500 or more for allowing his or her name or likeness to be used in connection with his or her sailing performance, sail racing results or sailing reputation, for the advertising or promotion of any product or service; or
c) has publicly identified himself or herself as a Group 3 com-petitor or as professional racing sailor.”)
Responsibility of Skippers entering the IKC :“If the team includes a “professional competitor” as either skipper and/or crew, as defined under Rule 2D, a written de-tailed explanation of each person’s activities under 2D (1)-(4) must be provided latest at registration. For such individuals, the Admirals further request that the Skipper provide the dates of qualifying races these competitors crewed and/or skippered – 75% rule. This written response will be shared with the admirals of all three fleets for joint determination on eligibility.
21
The joint Admirals may at any time before and during the IKC, without any explanation, ask any skippers for a writ-ten detailed explanation of competitor qualification under 2D (1) –(4), and a list of the qualifying races the competitor participated in. The written response will be shared with the admirals of all three fleets for joint determination on eligibility and thereby penalty. “

AT KNARR YOU ARE PART OF AN INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL NETWORKBy Nicolai Lassen
If you own a Knarr, you are automatically part of an inter-national social network. Not only do you own a boat, but a classic beautiful vessel. And as a matter of fact there are actually not very many of them. Geographically, it is also almost limited to three nations, the United States, Norway and Denmark, - there are also Knarr boats in Germany, but otherwise it is unknown.
Active Knarr sailors are concentrated at few locations. In the US, only in San Francisco. In Norway, only in Bergen and Oslo respectively, and in Denmark most boats are located in Oresund. In particular, many in Skovshoved Harbour with 35 boats, beautifully presented at the new Knarr promenade quay, which is the epicenter of the 47th International Knarr Championship (IKC).
This year’s week long international Knarr celebration starts on August 2nd with the opening reception and boat draw, and ends with a bang of a price giving party at the KDY restaurant “Address” in Tuborg Havn August 8th. The inter-vening period is used to achieve the objective: Executing “The best IKC in living memory - athletically and socially.”Everything is centered on the “Knarr village”, which is being established between the KDY and SKS pavilions in Skovshoved. 24/7 throughout the week, there will be bub-bling life which will inject much needed good spirits at the construction site – which at some point in the future, will be known as Skovshoved Harbour.
Many sailing clubs and not, least Dansk Sejlunion, could benefit from an inspirational trip to Skovshoved, where they could experience the atmosphere and the many happy sail-ors. The entire event has been launched, in close coopera-
tion with a wide circle of sponsors, driven by the enthusiasm of the great team behind this year’s IKC, and with support from their families. All of this means that the standard is so high that no one else in the Danish sailing can match it. With the former KDY director Christian Lerche in the lead, the Knarr class also has the best possible officials team. The sailors may not get all the 15 races, if the weather gods act as they usually do in early August, but 10 races should be sailed before Saturday, August 8th has become Sunday.The starting point is that the Danish Knarr association pro-vides 21-top tuned Knarr boats, and that the foreign sailors are being accommodated on private basis. Practically, this means that all participants need only to bring their sailing gear and well-padded credit cards - and then show up in Skovshoved.
The 21 Knarrs will be distributed among the three nations by lot, and each team must sail a different boat every day of the competition. Prior to this there have been trial races, with very tough competition for the much coveted slots. This means that Denmark will have 10 Knarr teams because Denmark is hosting the event this year. From Norway and the United States there are five teams from each nation. The last boat is automatically assigned to the winner from the previ-ous year, which this year is Lars Gottfredsen with his crew Jesper Kjer and Anders Fisker.
Many within Danish sailing had a hard time taking the level of competition in the Knarr class really serious. But a serious succession has taken place, and competition has intensified significantly. All sailors in the world, would fall short if they dared to run for championships in a Knarr. Maybe there are not many ropes to pull, but the Knarr is extremely hard to
25
handle for an optimal fast forward on the race course.The Knarr class has started a much needed reversing pro-cess. There are new winds coming up for a strengthened Knarr class - as the best alternative to new sailors aged 40 years plus. Those with careers, a demanding family life - and as a result, too little time. But the Knarr has all the qualities that make it a modern classic. “The Up - Down lanes” is the new sailing, which can handle 4 sharp races in just 5 hours.Competition on the water during the coming IKC will be fierce. It is partly because several international sailors have a sporty playtime and partly because you are sailing in bor-rowed boats. Every day has its challenges with today’s boat where lottery luck and the weather on the day mean a lot.It is probably going to be a Danish-American showdown where Jon and Phil Perkins from the USA, will challenge the Danes. Lars Godtfredsen will be up against strong sailors such as Anders Myralf, Henrik Søderlund and Ib Ussing. The classic local Knarr sailors such as Kim Bruhn-Petersen and Peter Bøttcher may well on a good day take points from the leaders in the field. But this year there will also be many new exciting well-known names that will strengthen competition significantly.
In Skovshoved sailing will exclusively take place in fiberglass boats with aluminum masts, but even so, there are good boats and some not so good boats - much of it is psychol-ogy. But this does not mean that “a not so good Knarr” equals a bad result. Because if the weather is just right on that day, these boats can actually be highly competitive in the hands of the right crew. Last day of the IKC in 2014, which was held in Bergen, Lars Gottfredsen was to sail the
“herring box of all herring boxes”, but Saturday was windy, and the crew raced the boat to a 2nd and 3rd place. They sailed well and had lottery luck, with the right boat for that day’s weather forecast.
It will be a good week, where some of sailing’s biggest egos and connoisseurs will meet in friendly competition, in the super hottie lounge of the Knarr village.
Knarr village, an institutionThere are two Danish terms that have gone around the world without being translated.
One is the Danish Parliamentary “Ombudsman”. He is independent and investigates complaints about the public administration. The “Ombudsman” may criticize and recommend to re-open a case and perhaps this may change their decision, but the Ombudsman can-not himself make decisions.
The other is “the Knarr village”, first time observed during the IKC In Skovshoved in 2012. The Knarr village is where the party is greatest, 24/7: Morning coffee, preparation of lunch, beer enjoyed from the pier and lots of parties. The village unites all Knarr lovers in the lounge area, opened together with the IKC and goes to sleep until the next IKC when the last sailor has returned home.

Søren Leopold can certainly show an impressive sailing career. At the age of 8 he started in Vedbæk Sejlklub in the Optimist Dinghy, became Danish cham-pion in the Danish iconic “Flipper Dinghy” in 1983, two Olympic campaigns in the 470 dinghy: 1984 in Los Angeles and 1988 in Seoul - though not reaching the top. He has sailed just about every model from Danish X-Yacht, but then the sailing stopped.
Slowly career and family filled the everyday life and pushed sailing out of the calendar. As a partner in Deloitte he did some company sailing, but it was absolutely not real sailing. The drought lasted nearly 25 years.
Today Søren, at the age of 49, is a partner in the network company CFO Consulting. One of the leading Nordic spe-
cialists in economics management, hence the company name CFO – chief financial officer.
The Knarr is a beloved childhood memory OD 22 was owned by Søren’s father Eric, who back in 70’ies raced the IKC with legendary Christian Rasmussen senior on board.
It was a series of incidents that OD 121, previously owned by another Danish legend Klaus Fossum, was purchased for the season. Firstly, the expansion of Skovshoved Harbour, which made it possible for Søren to buy a mooring - previously the waiting time was nearly 35-years.
Secondly: the good cooperation with his childhood friend Peter Bøttcher who pushed him by constantly telling tales from the seven seas in his 2 Knarrs. Besides that Klaus

27
Fossum had his Knarr for sale, it meant everything to Søren that it had proved to be a fast boat. Apart from that it was a “tired” Knarr, the functionality lags, and cosmetically there is clearly room for massive improvements. But exactly that became the crucial piece of the puzzle, “Because this I can do something about,” as Søren puts it enthusiastically. “I’m a handy man, relaxing with a tool in my hand. It evokes child-hood memories with the endless hours we worked on the Flipper dinghy and later the 470er “.
Although the list is endless, Søren still considers it a manage-able task. Perfect for a quiet moment, which gives inspiration to a tough daily life.
Søren is sailing with the family, his wife Anne-Marie and in turn the children Caroline aged 20 and Frederik aged 18. For the weekly Thursday evening races it fits perfectly, and if he lags a crewmember, friends of the family join in.
Although there is quite some sailing rust to be knocked after many years away from the sport, the proud skipper does not hesitate to tell that they became no. 2 out of 15 starting Knarrs last Thursday to the week’s evening match.
The concept, with two races and subsequent grill is brilliant for the family Leopold. “We have a good evening together, and others have taken care of dinner. And then the good company on the dock after the race creates an excellent community.“
In a busy life it means everything that the Knarr can be quickly rigged. Not like a Melges 24, where you must arrive two hours before the start, to get the ship launched and everything prepared.
Previously the Family Leopold has chartered 40-foot sail-boats on the Mediterranean, so boating is not unknown to the family. The Knarr must also become a future platform for leisure on Øresund, for the entire family. Søren would be happy to see his children take trips on Øresund with their friends. One afternoon it was so life affirming to watch the neighboring Knarr being sailed by a daughter and 3 girl-friends below 20 years. That is the way we can assist in revitalizing the sport of sailing again.
The Knarr Summer Regatta will not be in his calendar this year, but certainly a common activity one of the coming years. Perhaps mom and dad Leopold will be taken off the team, if the next generation takes over the helm and steer-ing. Who knows?

“Great spirits don’t enter the stage until the curtain goes” these wise words came from Ib Ussing An-dersen’s good friend and Knarr crewmember Otto Langhorn. Said one rainy Friday afternoon, when OD 111 is to be transferred to a weekend race in Sletten (North Zealand) And it is true that Ib Ussing Andersen through a long sailing career has established a leading international position that gives him the opportunity to choose boating on the highest levels, yet Ib still loves to sail his Knarr.
Saturday morning Ib has just landed from Sardinia after a weeklong job as captain on a 65 meter Dubois. An extreme sailing ship, with more crew members than the entire Knarr class can muster. Ib is still ready to sail IKC qualification race No.2 in Sletten, with his sailing friends through many years Jens Buhl Jørgensen and Otto Langhorn.
When he does not join the Dubois, Ib sails on a 44 meter Wally in charge of the strategy, and as “uncle” on a “small” 33 meter Wally. It is natural to ask: “What is the difference between managing a 65 meter Dubois and a Knarr? The
short answer is: “Nothing really, except that you have a much better boat feeling with a Knarr”.
Ib loves his Knarr, it is uncomplicated and affordable to sail. “I do not feel guilty about skipping an evenings match”, says the busy sailor, who must also find room for a round of golf with his wife.
“The Knarr class has the best and broadest competition in Denmark. You should be happy every time you have made it into the top 5. With the aluminium mast there is virtually no speed difference, so it is the best crew of the day that wins.” said by a man who’s entire life has been sailing.
His words were reconfirmed during the IKC qualification races in Sletten, where the final scores were equal between No. 2 No., 3 and no. 4. This tells you everything about the fierce competition in the Knarr class.
For Ib Ussing the new Knarr racing course format is refresh-ing, “Great with these up and down lanes where we get to sail up to eight races of an hour’s duration during a weekend.
“OUT IS GREAT, HOME IS BEST”

“Nice to observe that a new generation is gradually taking over. I notice that many new and very talented sailors have joined the class. It is really fun. Knarr sailors have a very healthy and mature attitude to “professionals”, an open attitude reflecting that we can all learn from each other. “
“For the” professionals” it is likewise learning, because we must all from time to time face a good beating when we sail Knarr”. Ib was a sure winner in Sardinia, but had to settle with a 3rd (4th) place in Sletten – worthwhile considering. “
Sletten is special about the social arrangements, - Sunday had only two races and subsequently the big family lunch. It gives the Knarr class a good social life.
“The Knarr really is a nice boat, a god damn great ship”, Ib is full of joy, while he continues, “I am proud to own a Knarr, - the design is just great”.
Well Ib Ussing Andersen is not really new in the Knarr class, North Sails formerly owned OD93 as a company boat on the sail loft, but the family Ussing Andersen also extensively
used it privately. Back then Ib had small children who were introduced to life on the water. They came on board and felt quite comfortable with the deep cockpit.
The little “Ussing Andersens” have grown bigger, so Ib has reached the mature age, where more and more visits from grandchildren fill his calendar. Therefore, OD 111 “Anna” purchased when his first grandchild - Anna - announced her arrival.
Today, Anna is a great girl of 8 years, active optimist sailor in Hellerup Sailing Club. Along with the other grandchildren, now frequent crew member aboard during positioning trips to the races. In fact, the granbd old world skipper could well move away from the tiller, because Anna has taken over and she manages the Knarr with a steady hand. And this is very appropriate, because Ib is busy managing the planning of the IKC 2015 in Skovshoved, a cornucopia of experiences.

On May 2nd, 2015, Mr Hans Toft (mayor in Gentofte) proudly wrote on his Facebook profile:
“Skovshoved harbour: In bright sunshine we have to-day inaugurated the new harbour basin in Skovshoved, with 325 new moorings, making it a total of 645 moor-ings. A day of celebration together with many happy sailors and visitors. Thank you for a fantastic day, where we can enjoy that the first step of the extension of the new harbour has been completed.”
We have rounded a mark on the route to ensuring the best facilities for our citizens practising water sports. “Recrea-tion” is the key word in the sports and exercise policy of Gentofte. A large variety of options to actively participate in many different sports-, exercise-, and recreational activities, are essential conditions for a good and healthy life. Gentofte municipality has been awarded. Gentofte Municipality has also been named “Sport Municipality of the Year” and “Width Sports Municipality”.
The voluntary sport organizations are always present, and provide possibilities for all children and youngsters to try a new sport activity. Many young people join the sports clubs
subsequently. This for sure is one of the reasons Gentofte, as one of very few municipalities in Denmark, can maintain a high number of memberships in the sports organisations.Skovshoved harbour has been entirely rebuilt since 2010. The club facilities in the harbour have been extended to the benefit of more than 2000 members of the 5 different organisations. This extension and rebuilding has taken place in close liaison with the users of the harbour – including the many Knarr sailors, who have obtained the finest possible facilities.
It is not only the water sports, which enjoys the sports and exercise policy of Gentofte. A new tennis hall has been built, and the schools have as well got extended and new sports facilities. Earlier Mr. Hans Toft took the first sod for e new ice-hall at the sports park of Gentofte. In the coming years focus will be on improving facilities of the 3 smaller organisations, roller hockey, petanque, and hockey.
Among other things, a new roller skating rink has been build, the schools have been given new and enhanced sports facili-ties and earlier this summer the mayor Hans Toft opened a new Jägers Skater Park, and also modernization of Gentofte Sports Park will continue in the coming years. The work

continues, and in the coming years, among other things, the construction of a modern show and training hall and a new football stadium in Gentofte Sports Park will arise. The politi-cal objective is to create attractive and varied offers of sports and movement. Gentofte supports that all citizens have the option of choosing an active lifestyle. Thus the aim is to get more people to exercise and create a healthier lifestyle.
In addition to the titles as “Sport Municipality of the Year“ and “Width Sports municipality”, the Municipality of Gentofte is also an “Elite Sports Municipality”. The objective for Gentofte Municipality, as an elite municipality, is to strengthen and further develop cooperation with Team Denmark, as well as striving to improve the links between sporting, educational and everyday life for sports talents, athletes and coaches. Gentofte Municipality endeavours to create optimal frame-work that can support the individual to realize his/her sport-ing potential. All of this, so that the citizens of the Municipal-ity of Gentofte shall, regardless of age, have the opportunity to initiate and participate in activities to provide a healthy and active life with sports, exercise and movement - as an integral part of their everyday activities.

COPENHAGEN NAMED THE WORLD’S BEST BIKE FRIENDLY CITYBy Nicolai Lassen
Every day thousands of Copenhageners unlock their bike to drive to work, school or just to take a ride. And there are good reasons not to take the bus, car or walk. The capital of Denmark is the best city in the world for biking.
Mother Nature took the first important step, since Copenha-gen has few hills and absolutely no “bike unfriendly” moun-tains. The Danish capital is consistent in its investment in bicycling as a means of transportation, and work to further develop conditions. The next important step is a clearer political vision.
All authorities have been working together to make the Dan-ish capital of Copenhagen the world’s best city for cyclists. The bike is already an obvious means of transportation for residents, because the Municipality of Copenhagen has for many years made a determined effort to improve infrastruc-ture, security and parking facilities for cyclists.
Every day 55% of all Copenhageners take the bike to and from work. Together they drive more than 1.17 million kilom-eters per day. This is equivalent to three times the distance from the Earth to the Moon.
Bicycle paths, bicycle parking and bicycle traffic lights dom-inate the townscape in Copenhagen. The infrastructure has been carefully organized, taking into account the 150,000 citizens who every day choose to travel by bicycle. There are some 340 km of cycle tracks in Copenhagen and the vast majority of the major roads are equipped with bike paths, either in the form of separate paths or markings on a level with the roadway.
In selected areas of the city - between residential areas and the center – there are so-called ‘green waves’ which is timed traffic lights that allow cyclists to drive the entire stretch with-out stopping at red lights provided they keep a speed of 20
km/h. In the morning the “wave” is directed into town, in the afternoon out of town. At traffic lights the cars stop 5 meters behind the stop line for cyclists, and the bikes have their own traffic lights, allowing them to move before the cars. In spite of the changing seasons, it is possible to cycle throughout the year in Copenhagen. When it snows, the municipality clears the cycle tracks before clearing the roadway, and 70% of cyclists continue to ride. If the weather becomes too much of a challenge, it is also possible to take the bike on-board both the trains and the metro. Many who live outside of Copenhagen, combine train and bike.
Many urban planners visit Copenhagen for inspiration. The important learning in the last 25 years of bike development is that no one questions the bicycle as a mode of transport. Good infrastructure, where cyclists can feel safe, is crucial to whether the citizens decide to use the bicycle as a means of transportation.
In Copenhagen, the citizens are neither environmentalists nor exercisers - they use the bicycle as a means of transporta-tion because it is quick and easy.
Lay Day on bikeThe Knarr sailors shall experience Copenhagen, as the local citizens experience their city. You are going to ride bicycles. If you have never rode a bike, do not worry. Then you will ride a tandem bike together with another biker. Experience the new Copenhagen, try the special “bike high ways”. Lunch will be served in the “Free City of Christiania” . You must go by train with your bike, together we will take a trip with the harbour bus, along with our bikes. The two wheels are your best friend, on Wednesday 5th of August.
When the bikes are returned, the after party will take place at the Knarr Village.

Creating the sustainable city of the future is the overall vision for the new district of Copenhagen. A sustaina-ble city is not only a matter of environmental respon-sibility, but also of social diversity and the addition of value. The City of Copenhagen is growing and is expected to increase by 100,000 by 2025. Nordhavnen is one of many projects, intended to accommodate a large proportion of these new inhabitants, give them a good place to live and provide them with workplaces, education and experiences.
Copenhagen, once an industrial city, has transformed into a city of knowledge. Nordhavnen is symbolic of this develop-ment, as it is a former harbour area that will become a center for the knowledge and service trades of the future.
Almost all industrial areas along the harbour front are cur-rently changing into mixed-function areas. The harbour basin has become a blue recreational space at the heart of the city, and the harbour area has the potential to become the ‘blue commons’ of Copenhagen, for the benefit of city residents and visitors alike. With water as the all-pervading element, that frames the public life of the district. Nordhavnen will boost Copenhagen’s image as an envi-ronmental metropolis. Renewable energy and new types of
energy, optimal use of resources, recycling of resources and sustainable transport will help make Nordhavnen a model for sustainable development and sustainable design. The urban spaces, the natural environment and not least the water should invite experiences, enthusiasm and activities for everyone.
This is why a wide variety of housing types will be built in the district, just as the various functions will be mixed. Housing and public activities should be linked directly with the water, just as it should be possible to see and use the water every-where in the district. Waterfronts, quays and coasts must therefore be open to the public.
Nordhavnen will have a number of small parks (urban gar-dens) located in small pockets created by shifts in the build-ing structure. These pocket parks will serve as open local spaces and quiet places of refuge in an otherwise densely built area. They provide room for small playgrounds, trees and recreational activities in residents’ immediate environ-ment. They also serve as green oases with various types of trees and other plants. Pocket parks will generally be located a bit away from main squares and pedestrian areas, which mean they also serve as local passageways.
NEW COPENHAGEN, THE SUSTAINABLE CITY OF THE FUTURE

Nordhavnen will reinforce Copenhagen’s position as a sig-nificant international city of knowledge. A city of sustainable mobility Nordhavnen will spearhead the adoption of sustaina-ble transport solutions. The natural choice for people should be to walk, cycle or use public transport rather than travel by car. It will make Nordhavnen one of the most ambitious urban development projects in the twenty-first century.
The new urban district is built on top of old Copenhagen. As Nordhavnen has been extended several times over the years using construction rubble and earth from excavations in Copenhagen. The history of the harbour is indeed also the history of Copenhagen. The various extensions the last 1.000 years, have not only made Copenhagen larger, but have also provided space for thriving businesses that have generated jobs for people in Copenhagen and ensured rapid growth of the city.
Crude elegance to MidweekThe “Docken” located in the North Harbour of Copenhagen - directly out to Øresund with a view to the sunset over Hellerup, Skovshoved and the Swedish island of Ven.
The “Docken” is a former salt warehouse. Since 2006, the raw industrial framework has been transferred into a cultural fix point. Midweek will become an evening you will never forget. If the weather is with us, it will become a gigantic beach party, delicious food, good wine and pounding rhythms that will make the joy of dancing explode - even for the most stiff-legged Knarr sailors.

SAILING THE LEAGUE: THE PULSE HAS RECOVERED IN SAILINGBy Nicolai Lassen
Despite the fact that Denmark has more than 7.000 km of coastline and thousands of ports, sailing is not the great Danish national sport as it should be. On the contrary sailing is declining and cannot attract the young people. There is an alarming need to get a dynamic mindset initiated.
Fortunately, there are many good sailors, who in recent years have gone against the tide. Personally, I also have a small share in the project. “Sailing League” has become the life-giving defibrillator, which should help to reverse the trend for the width in sailing and strengthen the club life for the 16-60-year-old. Should sailing succeed also in future, a whole host of dynamic environments will be recreated in the clubs.
History is short, started in May 2013, only two years ago. The Danish ISAF organization – Dansk Sejlunion launched this strategy: “Pulse, and water in your hair”. The vision was to create a network and a daily life around the yacht club. The goal was to get “my club” buzzing with life, i.e. less banqueting room and more yacht club, always filled with lots of high pulse. In order to create awareness of sailing in wider circles, the ambition was to establish an active sport boat environment and a sound bite or media established sport boat league, where sailing clubs challenge each other
throughout the season.
The Sailing League should attract the good parties and the beautiful people, the party that got “Rikke, 24 years old” down to the harbor. Politically totally incorrect, but the weapon is to get the new sailors interested in sailing and jointly create a good party around the concept of “club life”.
Offhand a difficult project, but help was to be found in Hamburg. The German sailing league was in its first season and willing to openly share its experiences. It gave the work group the opportunity to request the board of the Dansk Sejlunion to take a number of strategic decisions:
“We have taken two important principle decisions that will have great importance for Danish sailing for many years to come. Firstly, that we establish a new sailing league where sailors compete on club teams. Secondly, that we especially take a forward focus on sports boats. Partly, by recommend-ing clubs to invest in sports boats themselves, and partly by basing the sailing league on sports boats Dansk Sejlunions President Hans Natorp, October 2013
Everybody within Danish yachting agree on the Sailing League and the thoughts behind - and the cheering has been great - all around, from east to west, from young to old.
49
The drama is super intenseNo club can feel assured of a continued participation in the Sailing League.
The Sailing League brings sailing close to the audience, into the very heart of selected Danish ports. The races take place close to shore, inside the port environments where there is ample opportunity to present the ulti-mate in boating. You can sail in almost no wind, making it quite spectacular. And there is guarantee of drama, close duels and clashes when six club teams meet on the racecourse.
The event lasts 3 days with up to 45 races each with duration of 12 minutes. When the season is over, the five clubs with the lowest results will move down in the second division, or enter a new qualification. The top 5 in the second division move up.
In 2015 there will be races in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland, the Netherlands, Italy, England, Austria, Switzerland, Russia, Czech Republic, and the United States. The winners from each country will meet in a Champion League Final.
In 2015 both the first and second divisions will be compet-ing. A total of 36 sailing clubs are active and competing for the honor as Denmark’s best sailing club.
Best of all, the league idea embraces very broad, there are yacht clubs from all parts of Denmark. The four acts, which take place every year, show that it embraces the entire club and restores the joy of sailing and life at the club. The diver-sity of Danish sailing clubs is enormous, primarily because the mindsets are very different from club to club. One thing the 4 league races have in common is a great volunteerism culture. For each event, volunteers have worked hard from early morning till late evening, usually with a smile on their faces. The sprouting club life is growing - the whole breadth of Sailing Denmark likes to be a part of this – and thanks for that.
The “child”: “Sailing League”, is still a child. There are many buttons to be turned, both in the individual clubs, but also in the league itself. But the start was a success, few people had believed. 2015 will show “Sailing League” as a wild teenager who sets new standards for Danish sailing.

Modern, sculptural, and feminine, the newest pieces inspire beauty in the powerful women who wear it. Georg Jensen brightens up the season with collections that embrace color, design collaborations and innovation. The art of creating has a central place in the history of Georg Jensen. Since 1904 art, craftsmanship and design have been performed by collaborations with artists creating some of the most important Silver and Hollowware icons of the 20th
century.
The young sculptor and silversmith Georg Jensen opened his namesake studio in 1904 in Copenhagen. His unique combination of fine arts and being a metal smith revived the tradition of the artist craftsman. His innovative silver master-pieces in the era of Art Nouveau along with his foresight to invite a group of artists to design new works rendered some of the most important Silver and Hollowware icons of the 20th
century.
Looking through the game-changing eras of art and design one will uncover important works at Georg Jensen from Art Nouveau, Art Deco, mid century modernism, organic mod-ernism and pop art. These remarkable Georg Jensen works for the home and jewelry have become modern icons.
Georg Jensen was a pioneer who created the idea of design collaborations and committed Scandinavian design legends such as Arne Jacobsen, Henning Koppel and Nanna DitzelThis spirit of artist collaborations will continue at the House of Georg Jensen for the next 110 of years. The collaborative nature of the brand continues with artists, virtuosos and the giants of art and design. Contemporary design artist like Ilse Crawford, Aldo Bakker and Jean Nouvel collaborate with the House of Georg Jensen today.
Spring summer 2015 is a tribute to the innovative House of Art that is the House of Georg Jensen. The spirit of Georg Jensen circulates with seamless ease in the world of artists’ studios, the ateliers of sculptors and painters, the galleries, the historians and the writers, or art lovers. After all, art is everywhere.
Art serves to elevate our senses and art is stimulant in inno-vation. Innovation is the inspiration in a range of new designs featured in Jewellery, in Watches with new complications, in new Men’s Accessories, Silver and LIVING Georg Jensen.
