Broadcasting Live From Kiel Week (final day)

49er and 49erFX Final Day Racing

Lutz / Beucke (GER) Qualify for Tokyo

Tina Lutz and Susann Beucke of Germany have won their selection trials and will race in Tokyo. The pair are leading Kieler Woche which is the third leg of their national trials and since they were already leading the trials have mathematically locked up Olympic selection.

The German duo are long time campaigners but have yet to attend a games. They won the 2017 European Championship in Kiel, so clearly they are comfortable in the Kiel waters and sailed beautifully on the first day of gold fleet to move into the lead.

Segelreporter, the German sailling online magazine has the full story.

Kiel Week 2020

International sailing is back as the annual Kieler Woche regatta is on! Normally held in the last week of June, the delayed event this year features strong fleets, but a lot less of the tourists that typically dominate the Kiel scene.

For us international fans, however, we are proud to bring you an English language broadcast for the second year in a row. Only some fleets are able to be featured, and here is the lineup:
– Thursday September 10th, 13:00 local – 49er qualifying
– Friday September 11th, 11:00 local – Nacra 17
– Saturday September 12th, 11:30 local – 49erFX qualifying
– Sunday September 13th, 11:00 local – 49er Gold then 49erFX Gold

Sailing journalist, Andy Rice, will host the broadcast and 49er and Nacra 17 Class Manager, Ben Remocker, will add commentary. We hope you can join us for a return to racing and can enjoy seeing some Olympic hopefuls and many new racers see where they stand after six months without regattas.
