- Specialised dating sites for sailors offer more tailored matches, but suffer from low membership numbers, designs that are sometimes outdated, and a lack of user-friendly features.  
- Facebook groups, sailing companion platforms and singles sailing trips are not traditional dating sites, but they do allow for low-commitment connections and the chance to test out a relationship on board.  
- Major dating apps offer more choice but do little to filter for sailing interests; honest profile details about your sailing lifestyle are therefore crucial.

Report: Dating sites for sailors – Where finding a partner works

- Following expropriation in the GDR and a series of changes to its BSG name, the club regained its historic name in 1990 and its land in 1999.

Anniversary: 100 years of the Rahnsdorf Sailing Club

- SailGP in Sassnitz saw record speeds of up to 107.63 km/h; Germany clocked 104.6 km/h and secured two race wins without reaching the final.  
- Around 15,000 spectators witnessed Team Germany put on a spectacular display in changeable westerly winds, proving themselves to be a high-performing, tactically bold home team.  
- SailGP combines high-tech elite sport with the excitement of a major event, making sailing easy to understand, and will return to Sassnitz on 14–15 August 2027.

Opinion: “Flashnitz” caught me out

- As strategist, Barth oversees operations on the F50, communicates course and risk decisions to helmsman Erik, and covers his blind spot.  
- Safety remains a key priority in SailGP despite the high speeds; the split-fleet format, training and routine are designed to minimise accidents and capsizes.  
- The German team is struggling with limited training time, a cautious sailing style and poor starts; Barth is simultaneously planning Olympic campaigns up to 2032.

- The 35-metre-long ‘Draken Harald Hårfagre’ was converted into Odysseus’s ship for Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ and was used for six months.  
- Despite the temporal distance from antiquity, the film features several Viking ships whose open, long-hulled design and square sails are visually in keeping with the Odyssey fleet.  
- The ‘Glad av Gillberga’, which was also used, returned damaged; following a dispute over repair costs of around 6,000 US dollars, all invoices have now been paid.

- After running aground and carrying out repairs, Saladin sets off on her first major voyage as skipper, during which the engine repeatedly cuts out.  
- A diesel tank that is thought to be contaminated causes the engine to cut out repeatedly until just before Helgoland; the coastguard tows the yacht safely into harbour.  
- A mechanic sets up an emergency fuel supply using diesel canisters, and the return journey is successful; in future, the tank, pipes and filters are to be thoroughly serviced.

- As a professional skipper, Peer Kunz sails yachts around the world, working in conditions involving high technical risks, and is forced to abort a problematic Pacific crossing.  
- Following a burnout, a suicide attempt and a stay in hospital, he decides against a corporate career, buys a boat and finds a new beginning in life at sea.  
- He trains to become a professional, logs thousands of nautical miles, experiences extreme missions and illness, and sees the sea as both hard work and a personal salvation.

- Sophie Steinlein is focusing on the 2028 Olympics in the 49erFX class and is therefore stepping back from SailGP and other projects in order to maximise her chances of winning a medal.  
- Thanks to support from Sporthilfe and a Deutsche Bank sports scholarship, she is able to combine elite sport with her architecture studies whilst securing her financial future until 2028.  
- She is calling for greater visibility and equal opportunities for women in professional sailing and aims to play a more active role in SailGP in the long term.
