Læs mere her, sæt et rohold til en 4-åres inrigger og lad os sammen varme op til årets Kaninfest .

USIA-matchen er tilbage!

Lørdag den 23. august - start kl. 15.00 fra broen v. Svanemøllestranden.

Vi markerer kaninerns fest om aftenen med en helt igennem anderledes kaproning.

Kaproningen - reglerne

• Alle kan deltage!
• Sæt et bådhold – en 4 åres inrigger - tilmelding i kommentarfeltet nedenfor.
• Der ros på strækningen langs med Svanemøllebugten.
• Der ros ud og skoddes tilbage.
• Alle hold skal være klædt ud for at deltage.
• Fordeling af både sker via lodtrækning.

USIA’erne kåres

Efter selve matchen kåres en vinderbåd af et kompetent dommerpanel bestående af "usia-brødre".

Det er kombinationen af udklædning, kaproningstaktik og måske charme, som tæller.

Vinderholdet belønnes med en USIA-nål og den fantastiske drink fra "USIA-bollen".

USIA’s historie

• Usia var efter sigende en persisk prins – ”en særdeles udmærket fyr med udpræget sans for det gemytlige”.
• Usia-brødrene havde sære skikke. Bl.a. var det forbundet med ’dødsstraf’, at have langt skæg.
• Usia- brødrene skulle bære et lille emblem med en enøre på bagsiden, fordi som det hed sig: ”usia’er måtte aldrig være uden en mønt på sig”.
• Usia- brødrene er de eneste, som kan kræve at se anden ’brors’ nål, og hvis ’bror’ ikke kan vise den koster det ham en øl. Nålen bæres altid skjult.
• Når en Usia bliver gift skal nålen afleveres indtil efter brylluppet. Alene for at sikre, at han ikke bruger ’hver en øre’ på brylluppet.
• Usia-bollen (en bowle og KVIK’s dåbskar når vi får nye både) stammer fra denne tradition.

INVITATION TO USIA - MATCH, a race rowing in disguise…

USIA … “who did you say”?
… a rowing race in disguise, the adventure of a Persian prince, a secret medal and a lot of fun in KVIK.
Read more here, set a rowing team for a 4-year-old inrigger and let's warm up together for this year's Rabbit Party 🙃🥳🤩😎.
The USIA match is back!💪😅

Saturday 23 August  - start at 15.00 from the bridge at the Svanemøllestranden (the Pier at the beach).

We celebrate our Rabbits party with a completely different race rowing.

The USIAs are elected

After the match itself, a winning boat is chosen by a competent judging panel consisting of usia brothers.

What counts is the combination of disguise, racerowings tactics and perhaps charm.

The winning team is rewarded with a USIA-pin and the amazing drink from the USIA bowl.

USIA history

• Usia was reportedly a Persian prince - "a very decent guy with a distinct sense of conviviality".
• The Usia brothers had strange customs. Among other things. it was associated with the 'death penalty', to have a long beard
• The Usia brothers had to wear a small emblem with a 1-øre coin on the back, because as it was called: "usias must never be without a coin on them".
• The Usia brothers are the only ones who can demand to see another 'brother''s emblem. And if the 'brother' can not show it, it costs him a beer. The emblem is always worn hidden.
• When a Usia gets married, the emblem must be handed over until after the wedding. Solely to make sure he does not spend 'every penny (øre)' on the wedding.
• The Usia bowl (a bowl and KVIK’s baptismal font when we get new boats) originates from this tradition.
• The first women's team participated in the USIA match in 1975, however not as part of the competition. they were allowed to participate in the rowing …
