Around 50 classic yachts adorned the city harbour in Neustadt and invited visitors to the Open Ship - when they were not competing for glory and honour in one of the races held on Saturday and Sunday.
On Whit Monday, the inauguration of a memorial to Max Oertz and the unveiling of a street sign for Max Oertz Square, named after the designer, was a unique event on the programme, which underlined the 20th anniversary of the event in a dignified manner.
