 The event is held at the southern end of the 1×7 km lagoon west of Lüderitz, where between August and March every year there is a consistent, strong wind, blowing from the south at the perfect angle of 140 degrees to the sailing course.In the first edition of the event in 2007, participants sailed over a curved course.For the second edition, in 2008, a straight course was created by digging along the shore, providing also a very uniform water depth over the entire run.
