FOC Condin : Bremerhaven : 8-10 May 2026

The 2026 FOC Condin was held in Bremerhaven, a centre for fishing and shipping with direct access to the North Sea. This was the 41st anniversary of the first FOC Continental Dinner which was held in 1985.

On Saturday there was sightseeing boat tour around the huge Bremerhaven harbour. On Sunday we visited the German Shipping Museum as well as the museum ship "Seefalke" which is home of the club station DK0SN, as well as a neighbouring submarine (U-Boot).
