where in the world

[Der_Dude]

Just to put this straight: just like MK I did not recognize Nynashamn in the picture, it was just my best guess since it's one of the larger marinas in the vicinity of Stockholm. The skärgård is indeed a vast area.

Hi Hork,

The Stockholm archipelago consists of approximately 24,000 islands and Im not sure how many hundreds of square miles.......just out of curiosity (because I'm all guessed out) , which town and island was your original image from?  Just to close the case, so to speak.  

Nynashamn is probably among the better known in sailing circles....but it is a small town with an enormous cruise ship terminal and a very distinctive red church with green steeple , so I was not convinced we had nailed down the precise location.

Oh......and .......I dont think my neck can handle another upside down image.   Try posting them upside down?

Photos of the harbor at Nynashamn show a lot more trees than you can see in the witw photo. Even upside down you can tell that.

I'll just give it a go since Hork seems to be preoccupied and Mambo Kings too posh to take the lead.

The clue here is not necessarily in the land scape.

Somewhere in Germany!

I like these non-USA pictures.

Oh, and don't forget who led us all to Scandinavia and then to Stockholm area

 

[Der_Dude]

Actually Germany is pretty far from where the photo was taken.

Australia

 

[Der_Dude]

Almost equally far from Austraila.

Islamabad

 

[Hork]

I gave you 3 picture of the same town. Clearly an urban area with its skyrises right on the waters edge. It's the 2nd biggest town by population in the archipelago second to Stockholm which was already ruled out. This should have been an easy one. No sail numbers and you guys give up?

It's Vasteras, Sweden.

Regarding the upside down pictures, as I've said I've uploaded in all orientations... When I click on the posted upside down pictures though, they open up right side up. 

 

[Der_Dude]

Not Islamabad. Can you sail there? Would someone host a regatta for this particular class?

There is a clue in the picture for the country. I would settle with that because it seems to be a tough one.

British Columbia? or just Canada in general

Not bad....but there are also NDU's in Lebanon and the Niger Delta,

...and Istanbul...  probably more. I just picked the first hit I got from google! 

 

[Der_Dude]

Not China and BC. 
Not Turkey either. Is that an educated guess? There‘s not many countries outside Western and Central Europe where the class has fleets.

The only country I could find outside of Germany was Canada.

 

[Mambo Kings]

All of my guesses are educated.  I don't have a fixation on the location of Aero fleets.

 

[Mambo Kings]

I want us to be an equal opportunity thread, so this is for @Hork

Do we have a thumbs up or down for Canada @Der_Dude?
