KlarSchiff-KlarSee auf der RPC2011-2 - Round Palagruza Cannonball

"Shipshape – Seashape"
at the
Round Palagruža Cannonball
The race for those who really love the sea:
Solid seamanship in challenging conditions earned competitors
in the first three Round Palagruza Cannonball editions wide acclaim.
True, Cannonball competitors are as capable in boathandling,
speed and tactics as any raceboat sailor.
But the quality that makes them stand out as a truly special breed
is their deep, unyielding love for the sea.
Without this love, trashing a boat through day and night and rain and shine
to a lonely rock in the middle of nowhere and back just would not make sense.
Yes, we are deeply in love with our Great Green Mother. And this year, it shows:
Cannonballers go Clean:
Participating yachts will separate their waste
and discard it eco-friendly!
Why Because we have a message for the whole sailing community:
“What can be done during a Round Palagruža Cannonball,
can be done on any cruising yacht, in any weather, any day.”
We all want a clean and healthy environment to sail in,
and provided everybody makes the necessary contributions,
we can have it - and enjoy it.
We have a message for our host countries as well:
“Clean waters and shores are important to us.
We make our contribution. And we appreciate yours.
Thank you for your hospitality!“
