Flensburg is the place to be this weekend. 61 sailing clubs from all over Germany will compete against each other on the fjord to decide who will sail in first or second class in the 2014 season. With 250 sailors from 61 clubs, the relegation promises to be a major event with an unprecedented variety of starters from all over Germany.
Last year, 18 clubs competed in the new regatta format. With 58 new registrations, demand has increased dramatically. Participation involves comparatively little effort, as the boats are provided by the organiser. This weekend will be sailed on J 70 and J 80.
The five best clubs will be promoted to the 1st league and compete in the 2014 competitions together with the 13 clubs that have already qualified. The clubs ranked 6th to 23rd will sail in the 2nd league this season. For the numerous clubs that do not make it into the top 23 places, there will be another chance to qualify for the German Sailing League in 2015.
