WHAT

The underwater hull... for many boat owners it can only be worked on very laboriously and usually with moderate success. But a well-maintained underwater hull is the guarantor for the value retention of a yacht.
Rust on the keel, leaking rubber joint in the keel-hull connection, damp rudder blade, over-coating, osmosis?
What is osmosis, how can it be detected, how can it be prevented or remedied? Is there a professional answer to rust and corrosion in steel and aluminum?
These are the questions we will address in our lecture and, with the help of clear photographic material, we will provide an entertaining and to the point insight into the professional underwater ship refit with the technical possibilities of the specialist.

WHAT

Splicing is a superior technique for modern cordage to get a tight eye in a line. Almost the entire breaking load of the line is retained and it looks much more elegant than a knot. In this lecture you will get an insight into the different constructions and materials used for modern yacht ropes. The lecture will be followed by a hands-on workshop in which participants will make their own eye splice.


ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Sören Zopf advises Premiumropes' German customers on ropes, lines and other rigging issues on board sailing yachts. With his many years of experience, he can also help sailors with splicing techniques. In 2022, Sören opened the Premiumropes office in Kiel. He coordinates marketing and customer inquiries from there. On the water, he spends a lot of time on a wooden dinghy, but also on larger yachts. Sören's home waters are the Kiel Fjord.

WHAT

Anyone can make an eye splice themselves! Sören is a ropes expert at Premiumropes and will explain in a hands-on workshop after the presentation on stage how to do it easily with ropes made of HMPE super fibers. Come along and join in, because splicing is not only very stable and looks good, it's also great fun to splice the lines on your own boat. Practice line and tools are provided, even for beginners - no previous experience necessary.
Modern eye splice instead of knots in the halyard. In this free workshop, Sören Zopf explains step by step how you can make an eye splice in a Dyneema rope yourself and sparks enthusiasm for clever splicing solutions on board. The workshop will be preceded by a 20-minute theory session on stage in the exhibition hall.


ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Sören ist aktiver Segler von der Kieler Förde aber auch in Ostsee, Nordsee und Atlantik unterwegs. Neben Segelreisen bzw. Fahrtensegeln unternimmt er Tagesfahrten mit der Jolle. Auch auf den Mittwochsregatten in Kiel ist Sören dabei.

BirdyFish

A sailing dinghy that can fly/foil, for two to three people.

The BirdyFish is the perfect sailing dinghy to experience sailing in a new way. Thanks to the buoyancy of two L-foils together with a rudder with winglets, the BirdyFish starts to fly when planing, with the hull lifting approx. 40 cm out of the water. As the water resistance on the hull decreases, the speed increases continuously and speeds previously unimaginable with sailing dinghies are achieved - not to mention the enormous acceleration.

WHEN FLYING BECOMES ACCESSIBLE TO ALL

Until now, foiling with sailing boats was mainly reserved for professionals. There were almost no foiling sailing dinghies on which dedicated sailors, i.e. non-professionals, could try their hand at foiling without too much risk. The BirdyFish concept aims to fill precisely this vacuum and make foiling possible for foil beginners too. The design aim of the BirdyFish was to create a safe monohull platform that flies stably with self-regulating altitude and impresses with fascinating acceleration and unusually high speeds for a monohull sailing dinghy.

 


ABOUT THE SPEAKER

As a VDWS instructor, Paul Funke trains prospective sailing instructors on dinghies and catamarans. He runs the sailing department at the Rügen Piraten water sports school in Dranske.
