The Euro Gay Cup was established in 2001 in Amsterdam, to allow European gay and lesbian sailors to the opportunity to prepare for Gay Games VI in Sydney. The next Euro Gay Cups were held in 2002 in the Netherlands, in 2003 in Cowes in England, in 2004 in Paris. More recent editions took place in 2005/2006 in Berlin, in 2007/2008 in Brighton, and in 2009 in Finkefee. The Gay Games VIII sailing event took the place of the Euro Gay Cup in 2010.
For 2011, the 9th Euro Gay Cup will take place in Lemmer in the Netherlands, from September 30th to October 3rd.
For the first time, the event will use sailing yachts. Everybody can participate - regardless of gender or sexual orientation! We will sail with teams of 6 peoples per boat (bigger or smaller crews maybe possible, please contact us)! The crews sleep on the vessels. Take advantage of this opportunity to race on the Ijsselmeer!
