(Travemünde, Germany)- From the July 21st to 23rd, the 36 sailing clubs
of the 1st and 2nd Sailing League all raced as part of the 128th
Travemünder Woche. The weekend was punctuated by most light winds for
all three days of sailing. However, it was one of the most exciting
weekends in the league history: in the 1st league, the final outcome for
the regatta came about on the last leg of the last race on Sunday
afternoon!!The Deutscher Touring Yacht Club (DTYC) with Julian Stückl, Sebastian Bühler, newcomer Dominik Müller and Marco Tarabochia secured the top spot on the victory podium. It was not an easy win for DTYC, the widely varying and changing conditions made it difficult for everyone on the race track. "With our bad starts on the last day of competition, we risked our lead unnecessarily," explained Julian Stückl. As the reigning German champion, the DTYC will also participate at the end of August at the Nord Stream Race (26 August to 7 September).
The
Segel-und Motorboot Club Überlingen (Tino Mittelmeier, Jan Fritze,
Alexander Gaiser, Frederik Schaal) from Lake Constance just barely
missed the victory in Travemünde. In the end, the 3rd place in the last
race was not enough for the SMC. At 48 points the DTYC secured the
victory in Travemünde with more first place finishes. The South Germans
had not come to Travemünde with high expectations. "But, with our
favorite conditions with little wave and ten knot winds, we were able to
achieve consistently good results and, thus, a top position," says
skipper Tino Mittelmeier.After four out of six total events in the DSBL series, the SMCC is leading the overall ranking based on a tie-breaker at 17 pt each. Sitting in second is the DTYC after winning the Travemunde regatta. Sitting in third overall is Norddeutscher Regatta Verein with 22 points.
