Winner of the ICC 2009: team Vikings, Swedisch customs ! THURSDAY, september 17 The Vikings won the ICC 2009 !!!! After another great day of sailing, the winner of the 2009 ICC regatta is known: team Vikings from Sweden. They were in a close fight with team Schleswig-Holstein, but managed to keep the first position they already had on Wednesday. Guests The day started with less wind, so for the second time this week the genakers were seen all over the water. Starting procedures went smooth and two races were finished without problems. The last race was witnessed by a former fishing boat full of guests, sponsors and colleagues. They loved to hear the shouting at the starting line and the beautiful view of the whole field. And of course eat the great lunch that was served on board... Prize giving At night the prize giving ceremony was held. The Head of the Central Bureau of Interpol the Netherlands, commissioner Hansje Brinkman and the patron of the ICC, mayor of Medemblik Theo van Eijk, handed over the prizes to the winners. In the Silver Class the winner was - by the way - the Dutch team The Flying Dutchmen. PartyA long evening full of fun, great live music, new friendships and a VERY short night followed. Even our race leader Jan made his appearance on the dance floor, as did commissioner Brinkman. Friday morning at 06.45 hrs most skippers called in for the last skippers meeting in the regatta center. The briefing was short: eastern wind, so use the engine, no need to fill up the diesel and please, leave now. As a group of geese, all boats followed each other slowly and silently. Hot coffee, maybe a little nap and the last talks and there was Lemmer. GoodbyeAt the lessors, the teams cleaned their boats and removed all bags. Some waited for the rented bus that would take them to Schiphol, some left as soon as they were ready. But never without saying goodbye. After about 160 hugs, 320 kisses and 50 hand shakes, it was over. It was another great event. Thanks to everyone who made this possible!!! Hope to see you all in two years!
