Soling World Championship – no wind at Lake Chiemsee

From May 2nd to May 7th, the Soling sailors, who had travelled from all over the world, met at Lake Chiemsee to sail a world championship again after two years. The SCK was well represented at this event. A total of 11 members travelled to Lake Chiemsee: Florian and Michael Felzmann with Stephan Beurle on board the AUT 7, Martin Zeileis on the GER 308 with Karl and Irene Haist, helmsman David Schuh with his crew Lorenz Pichler and Theo Bawart on AUT 135, AUT 43 with Moritz and Bernhard Strauch (the boat was steered by Louisa Müller 420 youth world champion) and Ludwig Beurle with Christian Fischer and Markus Gnan on board the AUT 102.

To get straight to the point - for the first time since 1979 there was not a single race due to insufficient wind. Lake Chiemsee showed its beautiful side in the first few days, lots of sunshine with rain showers in the evening, but more than two knots of wind did not materialize. After that the weather changed and rain set in, but the wind conditions remained similar. It was enough for a start on Friday and we all sailed out full of hope, but after about 30 minutes the wind was gone again and our race officer abandoned the race.

This situation gave us plenty of time to make new contacts and refresh the older one. We collected some entries for Steinbach Soling European Championship 2022 at Lake Attersee. The entry-list shows already 23 entries and more will come.
