Info & Palmares:
Helge Ivarsøy and Jon Amtrup will be sailing Ivarsøys Van de Stadt 40 Embla 3. It’s the adventure that draws the two sailors to the 1000Mile race, but the competitive element will most certainly kick in. The two have sailed extensively – both fully crewed and doublehanded throughout the years.

2 Doublehanded Berge-Stavanger - including one 1st.
2 Bergen Shetland race double handed
11 Shetland races – including record holder best time Lerwick-Bergen in Wolfies Toy, Open 50, 17 hours 35 minutes, average 12,68 knots.

Info & Palmares:
Fandango is sailing the 2007 season to raise funds for the World Wildlife Fund (http://www.sailing4nature.com). She is a FF110, designed by Jac de Ridder. Draft and keel weight were increased early 2007 to make her more suited for dual handed racing. She’s proven to be a fast boat and ideal for dual handed racing so 2007 should be an interesting year. Other dual handed races on the calendar are the 50 mile, bruine bank race, vuurschepenrace & north sea race and Scheveningen-Cork.

Sail number:		NED5167
LOA:		10.70 m
Beam:		3.72
Draught:		1.95 m
Hull:		Polyester
Mast:		16.2 m

Info & Palmares:
Dick and Janet will sail in JAGER the 35 ft Koopmans 35. Dick designed this boat after the 1993 Round Britain race. The boat is strong enough to withstand ice and driftwood of Spitsbergen .
Therefore the hull is massive 30-40 mm polylester until 1m from mid ship, the rest is sandwich construction. All the interior is laminated to the hull and the plywood 8 mm deck is covered with glass epoxy. The keel has a low centre of gravity and the mast is 16.2 m above deck. This will give enough stability and sail for some speed.

Sail number:		K4399

Beam:		3,20
Draught:		1,80 m
Design:		David Thomas
Hull:		GRP
SA upwind:		53.24 m²
SA downwind:		95.41 m²

Info & Palmares:
Meka II is a Sigma 33 Offshore One Design (OOD) and conforms to the strict one design rules of her class. The Sigma 33 is the most popular boat to come from the board of the well known designer David Thomas: 460 were built up to 1991. Although not particularly fast compared to some more recent designs, Sigma 33s are exceptionally strongly built and very seaworthy.

Her skipper and co-skipper for this race will be Diana Rabin and Rees Williams. Over the last number of years they have sailed in a large number of offshore races, in both Sigma 38s and Sigma 33s. Races include the 1998 Colin Archer Memorial race, 2001 Fastnet, 2003 Fastnet and numerous RORC cross-channel races. Last year Diana skippered Meka II to second in class in the annual Challenge Cup (IJmuiden-Lowestoft-IJmuiden). This year is the first in which either have tried short-handed racing.

Info & Palmares:
Kasper and Anne are sailors with experience on sailing with larger crews. Last two years they sailed several trips and matches together; CAM-race, Antwerp race, 24-uurs and a trip to London with New Year.
Dual-handed sailing is a new great challenge and experience they want to add to their list of events.

The Solution Too is a spartan sailing boat, small but a good sailor. Last years the boat has sailed the NSR several times and the CAM-race.

Design:		V/d Stadt Design
Hull:		Wood-composite (Epoxy)
Launch:		1989
Mast:		16.50 m
SA upwind:		81 m²

Info & Palmares:
Christa and Ysbrand are experienced sailors on several ships in the past years. In the Duo-handed race we are debutants, but we have sailed a lot of miles together.
Apart from that, there is quite some racing experience on board from several regattas, both at sea, the ocean and the IJsselmeer.
The Tavare has sailed many more miles. With the first owner she has sailed around the world for 8 years and she has practised all the oceans.
For us, the 1000 miles duo-handed will be a nice experience which we are looking forward to. As Tavare is originally designed as an IOR 1-tonner, she sails very nice and we hope to prove she will still stand her ground.
