Dear Vega Sailors
It is with great pleasure that the Danish Vega Club can invite you to the IFR (International Friend Ship Regatta) by instigation off VODA (Vega One Design Association). This event will be the 28th since 1974.
This will take place in the summer of 2024, week 29 from Tuesday 16 July to and including Sunday 21 July.
The place chosen is Sønderborg yacht club.
Here you will have the opportunity to meet and experience Vega Sailors from near and far.
Our sister clubs can be very active, Sweden, Germany and Holland count among them.
This invitation applies to all Vega owners and one from Spain and two from the Netherlands, already notified of their arrival.
There will be racing, a rally at sea, trips to the fanatical local experiences, shared meals and not least a grand Gala dinner on Saturday evening plus other surprises. There will be plenty of opportunity to get to know other sailors who have the same passion. Let your Vega heart guide you to a serious week of Vega fun.
A special website has been set up, here you can make an advance commitment, final registration will be in March. An advance commitment is important for our planning.

There is no excuse not to participate.

Spring 2023 update
We are preparing some updates:
- the overdue VODA meeting took place during the IFR in Hoorn. The board and the representatives of the national clubs were newly elected. As soon as the minutes of the decisions are consolidated, we look forward to publish all the data here.
- there will also be a report and great photos from the IFR in Hoorn.
- last but not least, we have some technical innovations up our sleeve that didn’t make it onto the site last year.
Easter Update
We’ve finished some important features:
- Registered users can decide whether the “Owner” field will be hidden or displayed on the Ships detail page.
The default is “hidden” and we also updated all entries that were migrated from the old Vega database for the Owner names to be hidden. This may be more safe in terms of GDPR. - Now there’s a picture counter. Since user may upload up to ten images, such a counter may be useful because it can be used for sorting.
- We have a reCAPTCHA security mechanism to avoid unwanted mails.
- We added a “Contact Owner” Button at the bottom of every database detail page.
This is how we protect all email addresses from misuse.
Database migrated
The content of the ‘old’ Vega Database has been imported. Nearly 500 records.
Still some work to do, but that’s a good start.
