Notes
- 5.5 NOR 56 "Femme" - Story by Mikkel Thommessen - 18.02.2009 by Kaspar Stubenrauch
- Jan Erik Dyvis 5,5 NOR 56 has a special history. She was new for the
1990 Worlds in Torquay where she came 4th after a bad collision with
Pete Masterson i the last race.
Dyvi owned her until 1995 when I sailed her in Hankø Race Week. Upon
towing her across the Oslofjord to my summerhouse in Arendal, her
rudder broke from the connection to the tiller which was tied. The
boat turned hard starboard and was filled with water an sank in less
than 30 seconds. I was in my motorboat with my two children aged 4 and
18. We were all thrown into the water. The boat would have sunk if the
the cleat that held the towline had not broken, and the motorboat
eventually came upright half filled with water.
