A big wrap

Travemuende Week closes with fireworks, plus results in all classes

A spectacular fireworks closed the 116th Travemuende Week on Sunday night. Ten event days with nine racing days saw 807 boats completing 265 single races. Highlights were the Contender Worlds - with German Jan von der Bank celebrating as the new Champion and the European Championships in the International 14 class. Alister Richardson and Dan Johnson from the United Kingdom grabbed gold after an impressive series.

“We had some fickle winds but were able to complete almost the full programme this year”, said a satisfied principal race director Walter Mielke. 110 Contenders established the biggest fleet this year. The second largest regatta of the world was a very international one again with 19 different nations taking part in the Travemuende Week.

The first ever 'grand finale' races held in German waters worked out well in the Olympic 49er and Laser class but had to be abandoned for the Tornados and 29er due to lack of wind. “We have tested this format for the first time and it was successful”, analyzed Mielke, “short races close to the beach with live commentary, this is the future of our sport.”

Next years 117th Travemuende Week (21 to 30 July 2006) will see another premiere: The International Tornado Association has given the European Championships to Travemuende. It will be the first time an Olympic class will incorporate their Europeans in a big regatta like this. “The social events will be prepared on a five star level,” said chief organizer Claus-Dieter Stolze, “and we will ensure that the sailing competition will be on the same level.”
