Turn-und Sportverein Schilksee e.V, Schlei, Mai 30th – June 1st
Witsun Racing at the Schlei
Report by Gunter Arndt
33 dinghies found their way to Borgwedel in Northern Germany. Before I checked the Internet and our Forum what I should expect. The Forum said: no waves, the water just a little bit salty, no open sea, no danger for lakesailors…..
Well, launching the boats was already an exciting experience with strong winds directly onto the ramp. The racing area was fine, just a bit smaller than 4 km wide.
Day 1:
Two races in rough NE wind with clear results: Karsten Hitz 2×1, Greg Wilcox 2×2 and Martin von Zimmermann 2×3 an myself 2×4.
Followed some mixed placements caused by capsizes which could be seen by black-brown tops of sails (3m is the deepest).
In the evening we had a bbq at the youthhostel, were we also stayed during the regatta.
Day 2:
Less wind, less trouble to leave the ramp. On the water very shifty conditions and decreasing wind. We hold 4 races which mixed up the results. Just Karsten and Greg proved to be consistantly in the front.
In the evening warm food at the youthhostel and sit ins at the bungalows.
Day 3:
Finally summer temperatures, but even lighter wind and bigger shifts. Peit had to reset the whole course several times. We managed to sail 2 races.
Greg was by the end sovereign in front of Karsten and Jorgen Holm. I got 4th on equal points and have to write the report….
A very nice witsun weekend all inclusive: 3 meals per day, Sleeping in bungalows, 8 good races with conditions for every taste – > thanks to Peit and Ossi for organising.
