luigi bertolotti Posted August 30, 2012 Share #10601 Posted August 30, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Luigi, No. It is not Bergen (It was a good quess since this dingy class is very popular there). I have confirmed that it is somewhere in Sweden. But where in Sweden? Just in this area lives several very good Leica photographers. They must be sleeping... Exactly the reason for I shoot the Bergen bullet so squarely... 1 years ago I got in touch with a group of nice Swedish people in my town : they were at a nearby Lake for a international race of Dingies, and they were from Bergen.
