The Deutsche Offshore Consult GmbH sailing on SY BUKH BREMEN wins with the class 6 (ORC-Club C)
DOC was invited by shipping agency Peter Gast Shipping GmbH to participate in the 32nd Peter Gast regatta as one of a handful of companies from the offshore industry on August 30th 2014.
Starting out as a private regatta organized by shipping agents, this event has evolved into the “meeting of the maritime industry” over the course of time. This year again 133 yachts with more than 1000 participants started from Schleimünde on the Baltic Sea coast of Schleswig Holstein and, thanks to excellent sailing weather, engaged in a thrilling race to the Danish island of Ærø. After „Ropes on“ in the otherwise quiet town port and following the traditional pageant the participants enjoyed culinary delights and engaged in small and business talk regarding pressing matters of the shipping sector. The DOC entered the regatta on board the sailing ship “Bukh Bremen” courtesy of our partner company Bukh Bremen GmbH. Under the guidance of the highly experienced and race proven skipper who is also the managing director of Bukh Bremen, DOC won both the title “First Ship Home“ as well as “First place according to rated time” in the class 6 (ORC-Club C). For next year the title defence as well as representing the offshore wind industry is already scheduled.
