 J/70s sailing at Hamburg, Germany

(Hamburg, Germany)- In an impressive display of consistency on the shifty, puffy waters of Alster Lake in downtown Hamburg, Germany, the Norddeutscher Regatta Verein Team "five-peated" the German J/70 Sailing League. Their helmsman, Tobias Schadewaldt, was also repeat winner from their 2018 winning team.

After a sensational kick start at the beginning of the season and an exciting chase over the last few regattas, the ONE Kiel team secured the runner-up title in their first season as a first division club. Last year's champions from the Seglerhaus am Wannsee association took third place on the podium. 

The Bodensee-Yacht-Club Überlingen prevailed in the 2nd sailing league and, in addition to regatta victory, also won the season overall, ahead of the Mühlenberger Segel-Club in second and the Joersfelder Segel-Club in third.

The thirty-six clubs of the 1st and 2nd sailing Bundesliga competed in the final showdown on Hamburg's Alster Lake over three days. With a four points lead ahead of their rival ONE Kiel, the NRV started the regatta as championship leader after the previous four regattas and secured the championship trophy and the title on the final day in excellent wind conditions.

For NRV helmsman Tobias Schadewaldt, this title was a great relief, as he describes shortly after the decisive race, “after the first two days of the regatta, I frankly thought that the title would not work this year. But, thank God I was totally wrong with that! It was very exciting for us until the end! Most recently, the pressure to have to sail well was particularly great! Luckily, we managed that. Before this year's finale, I remembered the final two years ago in Hamburg, which we had won. Our team gave me a lot of strength personally and now I am relieved that it turned out so successfully for us."  German J/70 Sailing League YouTube highlights.  Sailing Photo credits: DSBL / Lars Wehrmann   For more Deutsche Segel-Bundesliga sailing regatta informationAdd to Flipboard Magazine.
