ecc 2012 logbook - ECC 2013

Engineering Challenge Cup
05 th to 12 th of May 2012
We partied, enjoyed the prize giving ceremony, all the congratulations and the afterwards party
onboard boat 39, thank you very much everybody!
Encouraging, first and foremost in this early state, was the commitment of AVEVA, our main sponsor
this year, represented by Bruce Douglas and Helmut Schuller, to support the ECC 2012 again,
thank you very much! But there were also many other people who committed themselves to support
the ECC 2012, our Admiral John Hall Hall, many former Commodores, specially mentioned David
Boocock, Klaus Hütten and Craig Warrender, and many many people who elated us to keep a
stiff upper lip. Thank you everybody!!!
And then???
Then we came home, started the PC and began to organise this years’ event! ☺
First chats with John Hall Hall, David Boocock, Klaus Hütten, Karl Schmid, Rainer Klapper –
and very soon we got a lot of useful input for our project from the beginning to the end, thank you
very much friends!
Contacting Michael Fass and just a few days later we were able to publish the
first Bulletin! Great job Michael, thank you! You not just set up the updated
website you even taught a web-infant to get on his feet (or knees at least)! ☺
But ECC 2012 on the WWW – without a logo? Michael Fass
But who the hell is able to create a logo? Perhaps? – may be? – ahhhh!
Our friend Melanie Koop and her daughter Svea from the sailing city Kiel promised their help. Soon
we had the first beautiful drafts and were spoilt for choice! Thank you ladies, it’s fantastic to have
such friends!
Next step?
