The postman had his work cut out for him. No sooner had issue 8 been delivered with the last of a total of four questions than a flood of postcards hit the editorial office. In the end, there were exactly 9,104.
No wonder, as the three main winners can look forward to a sailing trip to Helsinki with Astrid and Wilfried Erdmann - on board a new Dehler 47 - congratulations!
But there are also 122 other entrants who have won one of the exclusive additional prizes. Congratulations to them too!
The correct answers we were looking for were:
Apollonia (ship on which a momentous tragedy occurred during an Atlantic crossing);
Johan Anker (designer of the kite);
Düse (constriction in the flow of the wind);
Raid Finland (round trip in open boats through the Finnish archipelago).
