volunteers and family members await their "dejlig" dinner under the Big

A Coach's work
is never done! After his week of looking after his three crews,
Jesper Graves Petersen
served tables at the dinner - our table first, of course!!

A special 'liquid'
award was presented by Poul Ammentorp to Regatta Chairman, Torben Møller
to express our sincere
appreciation of the magnificent work done by Torben and his committees.
...

Ian Porter's gracious
and entertaining victory speech was enjoyed and appreciated by all of us.

And of course,
no Wayfarer Worlds is complete without a few words from George Blanchard
(which Poul seems
to be giving his very complete attention).
...

Winning crew,
Kevan Gibb, graciously delivered the refreshment-laden World Wayfarer Trophy
for his fellow competitors to sample.

It appears that
Arne Stahlfest (left) may have had a few samples even before this
one.
Arne wrote the lovely
article about The importance of politeness to ladies in sailing boats
(click

Here we have Jesper
either checking that Irene has not mistaken the Wayfarer Worlds Trophy
for an ashtray,
or Jesper is seeing
himself as the winning crew in Northern Ireland in 2001!!
