Subject: Information from Lake-Constance
Hello Bill,
Now for the information on what's going on at Lake Constance:
I got a protocol of the Foundation-Meeting of
"Internationale Shark-Flotte Bodensee" (Intl. Shark-Fleet Lake
Constance) it was on January 31st, 1998
I'm not yet in touch with this organisation. It was the former owner of
my shark, who gave me the protocol. But I can give you some information
in order to get in contact with them.
Chief of Fleet is:
Mr. Ernst ZOLLINGER (last name in Capitals)
(Address/telephone witheld but available on request from : csca@shark24.org
)
Unfortunately there is no e-mail-address or webpage-address on the
protocol.
The goals of the Fleet are:
- Increasing Fleet-Activities
- Common representation of all shark sailors on Lake-Constance
- Common administration, Racing and Cruising events and
address-management
Sharky greetings from Austria
Günter
We have five individual contacts but no "club fleets" as yet!
Sweden has
been a "power house" for Sharks in the past. They have held World Championships
and had a World Champion in 1976. We welcome them back to the Fleet!
