(Kiel, Germany)- After a slow start in the first event and beginning to
pick up steam after their second event in the J/70 Deutsche
Segel-Bundesliga, the Norddeutscher Regatta Verein (NRV) team with the
former Olympic sailor Tobias Schadewaldt on board managed to hang on to
win their first event of the 2017 season! Their team of Tobias
Schadewaldt, Daniel Reichart, Florian Weser, and Klaas Höpcke sailed
constantly to the front of the fleet in different wind conditions. But,
not everything was perfect with the NRV team. "Although we made too many
mistakes at the start, we were able to make good use of our chances in
the race course," explained a visibly pleased Tobias Schadewaldt.
There’s was not an easy win over the fleet.
The
second place team was Segelkameradschaft “Wappen von Bremen” (SWB) that
consisted of Gordon Nickel, Thomas Dehler, Klaas Simon, and Morten
Nickel. There were just 2.6 points back from the NRV all-stars.
According to Morten Nickel, "We had hoped for a podium spot on the Kiel
Fjord. It was a big surprise for us to take second place!”The team from the Berliner Yacht Club (Philipp Bruhns, Valentin Gebhardt, Maximilian Nickel, Max Wohlfeil) finished third with 41 points. Then, rounding out the top five was determined by a tie-breaker on 44 pts each between Lubecker YC and Bayerischer YC, with LYC winning the count-back.
As a result, after three events in the DSBL (Prien/ Lindau/ Kiel), the NRV had found themselves back on top of the leaderboards with a 10-2-1 record for 13 pts! Even they were shocked by the turn-about of events after this past weekend. Second is now Segel-und Motorboot Club Uberlingen with a 1-4-10 tally for 15 pts, dropping down from the top of the leaderboard in dramatic fashion. Then, third is currently determined on a tie-break between Berliner YC and Deutscher Touring YC at 16 pts each, with the nod going to BYC. Sitting in fifth place is Bayerischer YC with 18 pts.
