The Circle of Friends of Classic Yachts has its Regatta calendar for the coming sailing season published. Almost all of the relevant events throughout Europe are listed there and invite you to get involved with the most beautiful topic in the world and plan your summer.
The organisers of the night regattaThe Runand the annual Kieler Woche event, which takes placeRendezvous of the classics have combined their events for the first time into a kind ofClassic-Week-Light connected. On Friday 10 June, the participants will set off in the evening from Flensburg, Schleimünde, Kiel and Fehmarn to Svendborg. During the day there will be a get-together in the harbour before setting sail for home on Sunday.
This year, the Kieler Woche follows directly on the following weekend and with it the races for the Rendezvous. If you want, you can bring your ship directly to the shipyards in Grauhöft. Henningsen & Steckmest and Stapelfeldt leave it there. The rendezvous starts there on Thursday 16 June in the evening with a barbecue buffet and live music in the H & S halls.
On Friday, we will race across the Stollergrund to Plüschow Bay in Friedrichsort, north of the entrance to the Kiel Canal. The boats will anchor there and cook on board. Sponsor Pantaenius supplies the fleet with beer on board. On Saturday morning, the classics will take to the course in several groups directly at the start house of the old Olympic harbour in front of the Kiel Yacht Club for a race towards the Kiel lighthouse.
In the afternoon, the well-groomed beauties then lie in pool 4 directly in front of the Kiel Yacht Club. The prize-giving ceremony will take place after the race. Registrations are now possible here. A reduced entry fee applies for early birds until 15 March.
