Färöischer Rudersport

Höhepunkt des Jahres: Ólavsøka-Regatta

Der färöische Rudersport (färöisch kappróður) ist neben Fußball die wichtigste Sportart auf den Färöern, wobei jedes Jahr die färöische Rudermeisterschaft in sechs Klassen ermittelt wird.

Die nationale Rudermeisterschaft der Färöer wird seit 1973 ausgetragen. Die Färinger als Inselvolk und Nachfahren der Wikinger haben eine traditionelle Verbindung zum Rudern und zum entsprechenden Bootsbau. Die heutigen Regattaboote sind klassische Färöboote. Sie entsprechen keiner olympischen Klasse, sondern reihen sich ein in die Geschichte des Wikingerschiffbaus.

Klassen in der Meisterschaft

Drachenkopf am „Havnarbáturin“ – der Zehner aus Tórshavn, färöischer Meister 2004

Die Ruderer sind in Vereinen organisiert, die es im ganzen Land gibt. Die Boote haben alle Namen, welche auch „vererbt“ werden, wenn ein Neubau ein altes Boot ablöst. In färöischen Sportnachrichten werden die dahinter stehenden Vereine kaum erwähnt, da die Namen der Boote und ihre Herkunft allgemein bekannt sind. Viele Boote haben eigene Hymnen.

Heute gibt es folgende Klassen (mit dem Namen des jeweils erfolgreichsten Bootes):

  1. Fünfer Mädchen
  2. Fünfer Jungen – Rekordmeister: Sílið
  3. Fünfer Frauen – Rekordmeister: Sílið
  4. Sechser Frauen (seit 1983) – Rekordmeister: Jarnbardur
  5. Sechser Männer (seit 1975) – Rekordmeister: Hvessingur
  6. Achter Männer – Rekordmeister: Argjabáturin
  7. Zehner Männer – Rekordmeister: Havnarbáturin

Der sogenannte „Fünfer“ ist ein kleiner Sechser.

Die Regatten finden meist in der oben genannten Reihenfolge statt, sodass der Zehner der Männer als „Krönung“ eines jeden kappróður (färöisch für: „Kampfrudern“ – Ruderregatta) angesehen wird. Als elegantestes Boot gilt allerdings der Achter.

Regatten

Die Rudersaison dauert von Juni bis Juli, und es gibt sieben Regatten an verschiedenen Orten der Färöer. Dies sind gleichzeitig Volksfeste. Außer der Ólavsøka am 28. Juli, finden alle Regatten immer samstags statt. Die Norðoyastevna in Klaksvík als erste und die Ólavsøka in Tórshavn als letzte Regatta sind die einzigen festen Veranstaltungen die jedes Jahr am selben Ort stattfinden.

Die Termine 2007 sind

Insgesamt gibt es auf den Färöern 30 Vereine mit insgesamt ca. 115 Regattabooten.

Das Foto entstand vor einem Wettkampf, wo die Boote noch an Land lagen und von der Fachwelt bestaunt wurden. Der Drachenkopf gilt als "typisch färöisch" und weist dieses Boot als eines des de:Tórshavner Rudervereins aus - in diesem Fall der tradtionsreiche "Tórshavn 10er" mit dem Namen Havnarbáturin. Dieses Boot ist in seiner "Königsklasse" färöischer Rekordmeister (12mal seit Bestehen der Meisterschaft de:1973, zuletzt de:2004). Viele Regattaboote sind so aufwändig verziert. Übliche färöische Boote (selbst Motorboote aus Kunststoff) zitieren immer den Drachenkopf aber meist nur den "Hals", ohne den "Kopf" auszugestalten.)
