(Mohnesee, Germany)- Hosted by Yacht Club Mohnesee on a gorgeous German
lake, thirteen J/22s from across Europe sailed four in a wide variety of
conditions (typical for most Alpine lakes!).
To say the competition was tight would not even begin to describe what
happened amongst the top four boats. In short, they nearly all finished
in a tie for first! Just one point separating first from fourth and
all four positions determined by a tie-breaker. At the end, the French
team of Reiner Brockerhoff, Christophe Declercq and Charlex Michaux
sailing FRA 1444 won with a 1-4-5-1 record. Second was the GER 1562
team of Thomas and Christian Rieckborn and Helge Wolpers with a 2-1-3-7,
losing the 6 pt tie-break. Third was Peter Karle, Falko Braun and Gina
Hess Chrissi Bohnke on GER 1328 sailing to a 4-2-1-5 record. Losing the
tie-break, finishing fourth was Reinhold Groh, Thomas Hanf and Dirk
Sundermann on GER 1513 with a 8-3-2-2. Fifth was Thomas Roth, Klaus
Dressgacker and Jan Roth on GER 1439. For more J/22 German Masters sailing information
