The second event of the German Junior National Sailing League, taking place alongside the Warnemünde Week (2 – 4 July), was a huge success. There were three days of tight racing close to the shoreline, which was packed with cheering spectators every day. Euphoria, fun and pure joy greeted the victorious Württembergische Yacht Club, who won on a tie-break from Düsseldorf Yacht Club in second. This ensured that both teams qualify for the grand final of the German Junior National Sailing League, to be held in Hamburg at the end of October. The teams with league experience dominate the table; they occupy the first seven places. However, looking at the leaderboard, there are just five points between first and eighth place. Those without sailing league experience continued to improve dramatically virtually every race and did not give up. Many top three results in individual races went to the underdogs. The best non-League club was the local hero, the Rostock Regattaverein. The team led by Lennart Kiss, Paul Arp, Anton Wolff and Luca Leidhold occupied eighth place (with only one point difference between sixth and seventh place). “We are totally satisfied with our result. The whole regatta was pretty cool,” explained Paul Arp. “Our young team has never sailed on a J/70 before, and we only had one day of training on the boat. However, we are learning fast and going faster! Watch out for the next event, we are coming after you top clubs!” The next DJSL event takes place from 27 to 28 August on the Wannsee next to Berlin, Germany.
