The Munich YC just hosted the first event of the German Sailing League 2016 season on beautiful Starnberger Lake. The North is dominating the League already. In total, 36 clubs sailed 78 exciting races, with many race outcomes determined by less than a meter. There were light sailing conditions all weekend long. The two-time German Sailing League masters, the NRV (Norddeutscher Regatta Verein) sailors from Hamburg, dominated the kick-off event at Starnberg. “It is unbelievable to have won the first event with my team. We are more than content with this victory. The conditions have been a bit more difficult at the beginning, but with the continuous performance of the last days, we could keep the lead. We are very happy,” said the happy helmsman, Tobias Schadewaldt. With his crew of Florian Spalteholtz, Niklas von Meyerinck and Florian Weser, they had five firsts and three seconds in their scoreline to easily win by five points after 13 races.As the reigning Deutsche Segel-Bundesliga champions, the Deutscher Touring YC also had a strong performance for their first event. The team from Tutzing finished second and, in fact, was tied for first with NRV after five races, each with four firsts and one second. The Lindauer Segler-Club posted two firsts and a number of seconds and thirds to win a tie-breaker on 40 points each with Verein Seglerhaus am Wannsee. Fifth for the regatta was the Wurttembergischer YC with 43 points. The North also dominated the top rankings in the second Sailing League. The Muhlenberg Sailing Club had a brilliant kick-off: the sailors from Hamburg are stronger than ever and finished first in Starnberg. Second place was Hamburg Sailing Club, followed by the Potsdam Yacht Club in third. For more Deutsche Segel-Bundesliga sailing information, visit http://segelbundesliga.de/.
