Germany elect 29er

Class gets boost and Kiel Week start

Germany’s DSV has voted at the weekend to give the 29er full youth status in Germany. This is welcome news and will have a huge impact on the class both in Germany and the surrounding nations.

2005 will also see for the first time a fleet of 29ers at Kiel Week. A start at the largest dinghy regatta in the world is a sure sign that the 29er is recognised by the world as a class on its own as well as the perfect training boat for larger skiffs such as the 49er.
