The International Canoe

After having finished a perfectly organised Euro Cup with great sailing at good conditions, I want to advert to the next International Canoe World Championship in 2011!

It will be held from July 23rd - 30th 2011 at Travemünde during the Travmünde Week and the sailing venue will be the Neustädter Bucht. Racing will probably be from 24th to 30th. The course, where we will sail will not be very far out. If you check out the course map at http://www.travemuender-woche.net/index.phtml?mNavID=1.100&sNavID=1653.60&La=1, you can find course beach and hotel. On one of these we will have our championship. Raceofficer will be the same, who run our last Euro Cup some years ago, who is very professional and knows the canoes.
We will have races for IC/ICOD/AC announced. Numbers will tell...

Area:
Boats will be placed on the beach. For those coming with a trailer, a tractor will pull the trailers onto the beach and back. For those coming with a container, they will be placed on a secured parking area in 5 min walking distance to the beach. On the beach we will have a big tent for measurement and as a meeting point for the canoe sailors.

Here http://www.travemuender-woche.net/media/custom/1653_2290_1.PDF you can find a map with the area:
5 is the beach with the boats
7 is the container space
9 (more likely) or Mövenstein is campingarea



Accomodation:
Camping:
We will have a space either in a small city park (Zippelpark) just ajacent to the parking area or little more far away at Mövenstein/Grünstrand (bike recommended).
You can book your camping lot with your online entry on http://www.travemuender-woche.de. Electricity is availlable with blue ECC Plug or standard German plug.

Social program:
there is a big fair surounding the sailing event with lots of booth, bars and stages with live-music, parties in the evenings, a sailors beach club, where photos from the day on the water are presented...
We will have some canoe-intern activities. Details will follow.

More info will follow soon.

Travemünde is a great sailing venue and the event is a very professional run regatta for dinghys, skiffs, cats, sportsboats and big boats. It is one of the biggest regatta series in the world.
You will enjoy your stay at Travemünde!

Thanks for the info, is the New York Canoe Cup included in the dates? Im just trying to work out my travel plans when we pack boats back in the box etc....

Our new official website http://www.icworlds.de has been launched now.
All information needed will be provided there.

@ Hayden: the New York Cup is included in the dates.

From July 20th to August 1st there will be a unloading and loading service for containers at the car park "Leuchtenfeld". If your containers will be delivered earlier or collected later, make sure that your transport company can load and unload the containers independently. That is not usual here.

Hi
I see that Australia will defend the New York Cup against the best performing country, how are we defining this?
Alistair

We drafted a set of rules for defining this in 2008 if you want to use them?

Just wondering if anyone was planning on renting a share house for the championships, looks like a couple of Aussies could help fill some space if needed. Otherwise looks like I'll pack a swag and rough it (working on a shoestring budget for this worlds, at least I think I can make it happen)

H.

Christian,

that would be great if you could send me that document.

Thanks,
Arne

We can offer a very limited number of charter boats for sailors from overseas, who have problems in getting there boats to Germany. If you have an additional boat that you can bring along if needed, or if you want to charter a canoe, please contact me.

I look forward to your entries!

Any one from the UK entered the worlds as yet ? Who ( Gareth ) is sending in the UK entries from the BCU ?

Hi Colin
I have tried but had found that the entry was only in German, but looked today and either I am just clicking the right buttons or they have now got entry in English as well, so will be entering on line this week when I have got all my info together. Just then need to finish the boat, go sailing and get it measured!
