Last weekend, the eleventh season of the German Sailing League started on Lake Wannsee in Berlin, hosted by the Verein Seglerhaus am Wannsee.

Eighteen sailing clubs each in the first and second leagues enjoyed a gorgeous weekend of sailing with plenty of nice breezes.

The big question for the weekend was whether the defending champions- Norddeutscher Regatta Verein (NRV)- with skipper Leon Passlack would be able to build on the successes of last year. In 2022, in addition to the championship title, the NRV also won the SAILING Champions League and the DSL Cup and achieved the coveted triple of the league sailors for the first time.

It was striking that pure-family crews were represented in both leagues. Andreas, Suzanne, Rob Dean, and Luke Willim started for the first division Schlei-Segel-Club. Then, in the second division, Maike, Maren, Morten, and Aron Roos sailed for the Wuppertal Sailing Association.

From the very first race, the Mühlenberger Segel-Club (MSC) first-league team was in good shape. Veteran Magnus Simon at the tiller and his team, consisting of Till Krüger, Benjamin Ahlers, and Matteo Wolgast, always steered cleanly and almost flawlessly at the front of the field to win their first regatta in a while.

Second place went to the Munich Yacht Club (MYC), ahead of the defending champions that ended up on the third step of the podium- the Norddeutscher Regatta Verein (NRV).

In the 2nd league, the Berlin clubs showed they know Lake Wannsee and its somewhat shifty, difficult conditions well. The Joersfelder SC team won, second was Klub am Rupenhorn (KAR), and third place went to the Itzehoe sailing association (SVI).

The second DSBL sailing event of the 2023 season will take place from July 28th to 30th as part of Travemünde Week in Travemunde, Germany on the southern shores of the Baltic Sea.
