Classics

- The schooner brig "Wilhelm Pieck", built in 1951 and the only ocean-going sailing ship in the GDR, was primarily used for the maritime training of the FDJ.
- Acquired by the city of Greifswald in 1990 and renamed the "Greif" in 1991, the ship became a maritime ambassador and movable cultural monument.
- Completely renovated at the end of 2022 at a cost of around 7.7 million euros, the "Greif" is back in the water and will sail again as a sailing training ship once the interior has been refitted.

- The Run starts on 12 June as a night race from four starting points to Ærøskøbing, with different courses and distances of up to around 62 nm.  
- Breakfast, jazz, barbecue dinner and a party will follow in Ærøskøbing; this will also mark the start of the relaxed Summer Sail.  
- The Summer Sail is an informal, non-official, non-competitive flotilla race leading up to the Rendezvous of the Classics from 18 to 21 June in Kappeln and Kiel.

- Contents include: Robbe & Berking Sterling Cup, seafaring cruisers "Königin" and "Marabu", traditional sailing moulds, YACHT photo archive

- The archipelago cruiser "Argo", built in 1932, returned to Lake Constance after almost 30 years in the barn.
- Heiress Bianca Vetter founded an association to provide young people with sailing experience and seamanship on the historic "Argo".
- The technically modernised yacht can be booked by clubs for 14 to 25-year-olds and will once again compete in the "Rund um" with a young crew.

- The Class Association of 75sqm National Cruisers launches a youth project for training and regatta sailing with the historic "Skagerrak".  
- Young people are to sail regattas, trips and cruises on the fast, traditional regatta yacht and at the same time get to know potential buyers.  
- The aim is to attract young people to the 75 class, preserve the "Skagerrak" and continue the cruiser class tradition that has existed on Lake Constance since 1913.

- The International 110 is a 7.32 metre long, narrow double-ender from 1939, designed as an inexpensive, simple performance sailing boat for broad use.  
- Around 750 boats were built in wood and GRP, around 75 are still active; second-hand prices range up to around 10,000 US dollars, depending on condition.  
- A group led by Burzycki and Mackey is revitalising the class on the US West Coast, focusing on used boats, restoration and new kits instead of series production.

- The Haiboot from 1930 is a simply constructed standard keelboat (9.60 m, 1.7 tonnes), still in use in Finland and as the "Requin" in France.  
- In Germany, there is only a fleet of just under two; an example is the largely original "Zoé" from 1947, which sails on the Schlei.  
- Good sailing characteristics, easy handling and a small sail area contrast with a low profile and failed class introduction.

- Hundertwasser's ship "Regentag", a 1910 freighter converted into a work of art, served him as a floating hermitage and writing quay all the way to New Zealand.  
- After sinking in 1995, ferrocement sheathing and risky transport to Tulln, the "Regentag" was extensively restored as a monument for €520,000 in 2018.  
- Boat builder Tobias van Kooij replaced rotten wooden parts and added a GRP hull; today the "Regentag" in Tulln is once again watertight and ready to sail.

- The 12-metre racing yacht "Gretel", the first Australian 12-metre yacht built in 1962, is ready for sale at Robbe & Berking Classics in Flensburg.
- Shipyard boss Berking is hoping for a buyer from Australia; the transport by cargo ship to Australia in July has already been organised.
- The purchase price of 160,000 euros corresponds to Berking's own costs; a petition is underway in Australia for state support for the return and restoration.

- The "Peking" in Hamburg continues to be fitted out with historical equipment: a gnome working engine, steel lifeboat and 1.2 tonne stern anchor are on board.
- Restoration cost around 40 million euros, a quarter of the substance was renewed; the almost as good as new ship has been open to visitors since 2021.
- A team of full-time staff and volunteers look after the ship; Hamburg pays almost 4 million euros a year, of which 878,000 euros is for running costs.

- The "Eye of the Wind", built in 1911 as the "Friedrich", is returning to its home region and will spend three days in Bremerhaven's New Harbour.
- On 1 May, there will be an open ship from 2-6 p.m. with free admission; visitors can meet the crew, ask questions, practise knots and collect on-board stamps.
- The sailing ship is Hollywood-tested, is now used worldwide for sailing trips and sail training and teaches traditional seamanship to all generations.

- The 37th Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta attracted more classic yachts to English Harbour than for a long time.  
- Since 1988, the regatta has established itself as a fixed highlight in the Caribbean regatta calendar and took place for the 37th time in 2024.  
- Classic yachts of various rigs compete against the backdrop of Nelson's Dockyard; photographer Tobias Stoerkle documented the event.
