Thanks to cool young sailor Nick Andersen for the great shot of Black Marlin in the sunset.
Lots of touch minis still racing... Jynx, Honk, CaBoom, Kenadama... most of these minis do not have an
engine even if they did want to quit.
Dear SILVERRUDDER family
Those that have raced the SILVERRUDDER know that an ice cold morning with no wind and counter current in the Little Belt can be a killer... but remember that you came here to FINISH the race and that the SILVERRUDDER family stands together. You are all in the same boat 🙂
Hang on in there drop anchor, take a nap and get set for the next breeze to carry you home.

SILVERRUDDER NOTICE.
USE OF STROBE LIGHTS AS NAVIGATION LIGHTS IS NOT ALLOWED
Dear SILVERRUDDER participants Only boats that fully comply with the International Collision Avoidance Rules on navigation lights will be allowed to participate in the 2020 SILVERRUDDER Challenge.
In 2019 several boats used strobe lights as fixed navigation lights. These boats will not be allowed to start this year. Note that boats of 7 metres and less ARE also required to comply with these rules.
We refer to the statutes of the SILVERRUDDER Rule 11 below:
11. It is the responsibility of the skipper that the boat:
11.1 - is in a safe and seaworthy condition and has fixed statutory navigation lights that are applied in accordance with the International Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS). Boats of less than 7 meters in length shall however have fixed navigation lights as required for boats of 7 meters or more in length as per COLREGS. Strobe lights shall only be used in distress situations.
PLEASE make sure that you solve this technical matter before your boat is checked.
