With the linking of the night regatta " The Run " and the Kiel Week regatta "Rendezvous of the Classics", the fleet from the Friends of Classic Yachts A series of events was organised at the start of the season, which many people took advantage of to kick off the sailing summer. The rally traditionally starts from four different locations: the Flensburg Fjord, the Schlei, the Kiel Fjord and Fehmarn. The 60 nautical mile course leads to Svendborg in Denmark, where the fleet moors in the town harbour and celebrates. For the return journey, the option was offered to moor in the Schlei, where a party was organised in the halls of the shipyard the following Thursday. Henningsen and Steckmest took place.
