Mads Bendix has won Kieler Woche after no more races were sailed on the final day, Sunday. With the forecast showing 20-30 knots all day, the fleet took the collective decision to opt for an early end to the regatta after eight great races over the first three days.

Andre Budzien was second with Thomas Hansson-Mild rounding out the top three.

Kieler Woche was intended to be part of the 2020 Euro League for the class, which was cancelled due to COVID-19. Hopefully, in 2021 the Euro League will be able to happen, with Kieler Woche again planned to be part of the series.
