Hi, my name is Javier Martínez Egea, and I am looking for a skipper to participate with me in this years Flying Dutchman World Championship in Altea in the month of September.
I am federated in the Nautical Club of Altea so I have sailed there for the past 4 years and I have good experience. I am a light crew, with a height of 1,80 cm and weight of 70kg, which is good for Altea’s wind conditions. Unluckily I don’t own a boat either, but anyone interested in competing with me please contact me to this number: 617608755
Dear FD friends,
To remember his friend Bene Wiedemann, the Circolo Vela Cesenatico and the Italian FD class have decided to associate the “Alto Adriatico Trophy” with a Challenge named after him to commemorate the figure of Bene and his friendly relations with the Club and the Italian FD class. To honor the spirit of hospitality, the Club offers free registration to all foreign crews participating in the event.
The Italian Ministry of Health has issued a new ordinance regulating international travel under COVID-19, which is in effect from 16 May until 30 July 2021. A very good news is the removal of the quarantine requirement for travelers from EU and Schengen countries, Israel, and the UK. However, all persons entering Italy must present negative COVID-19 test results from the 48 hours prior to entering Italy.
We would be grateful if could share this message with the family of Bene Wiedemann and with all the FD sailors interested.
Please find attached the invitation to the Bene Wiedemann Challenge and the N.o.R.
Thank you
Luigi, Nicola and Eric
Executive Committee of the Italian Flying Dutchman

Quick Italian Rules Explanation for Sailors
Italy is divided in different regions. Every region or province is changing colour regularly, going from white to red. This situation is changing and is difficult to forecast which color we will be at the time of the regatta. Despite the colors, The Italian National Sport Authority is giving the sailors a sort of “passepartout/laisser passer”.
Here are the details:
- Travelling for sport activities, if connected to a National Level event, are compared to work travels and they are authorized in all regions (yellow, orange and red zones).
- Covid Test. It depends on your country of origin. You might need to have a negative covid test performed in the last 48h before entering Italy. Please check with your Foreing Affair office or read (in italian) the Italian Foreign Affair recommendations http://www.viaggiaresicuri.it/home
- Sport. Training and National Level sailing competitions (Regattas) are authorized in all regions/provinces (yellow, orange and red).
- Accommodation. Hotels can be open in yellow, orange and red regions/provinces. (email to hostel@campioneunivela.it )
- Restaurant. The restaurants, only inside hotels, can be opened for the hotel guests in orange and red regions. In yellow regions, all restaurants with outdoor tables could be opened.
- Regatta. We are following the same protocol of 2020 and therefore you won’t find physical notice board, registrations should be done online and gatherings should be reduced.
- Documents/Papers. It is useful to show a proof of participation to the regatta. If you are coming, please send an email to club@campioneunivela.it so they will send you an official invitation that you can show at the borders.
