Family J/80 Sailing Worlds off Kiel!
(Kiel, Germany)- This year’s J/80 Worlds had a number of family boats participating on the Schilksee off Kiel, Germany. One of those family boats was called JETTE and was sailed by the Weidemann family-
a father, mother, both sons and a girlfriend!! According to Sven
Jurgensen who was the official J/80 Worlds photographer, “they all had a
great time despite the hair-raising, challenging, stormy conditions on
the last day of racing! Can’t you tell? They’re all still smiling!”
