1st Sailing League Report
In the first sailing league, Verein Seglerhaus am Wannsee won the event in Glücksburg. The Norddeutscher Regatta Verein (NRV) and the Deutscher Touring YC (DTYC) took second and third place. Before the Grand Finale, the DTYC leads the overall season series table ahead of the NRV and the Segel-und Motorboot Club Überlingen.

The team from Bavaria still has a chance to defend their championship title from last year and there is no question it will be close, tough racing in Berlin.  Just six point separate the top three teams after five events in the season series- Prien, Lindau, Kiel, Travemunde, & Glucksburg.

The Grand Finale will take place from the 1st to 3rd of November in Berlin.
