Anne-Marie Hamm and Tina Lutz opened the 2021 Optimist Class Championship at the Chiemsee Yacht Club (CYC) in Prien (Bavaria). Tactical Sailing is a guest at the CYC and offers the participants the "Game Against the Wind - Boat Against Boat" to pass the time, in calm and in stormy weather. A specially erected "tent" attracted the kids to play in the "Game Hall".
On the 1st day of racing, too much wind blew during the day with 8 Bft! The first start was delayed until late in the evening, before the race officer Kai Schreiber and his team started a race for the almost 200 Optimists.
In addition to the sailors from Germany, guests from Austria, Italy, Denmark, the USA and Sweden also came. On the 1st day of racing, too much wind blew during the day with 8 Bft! The first start was delayed until late in the evening, before the race officer Kai Schreiber and his team started a race for the almost 200 Optimists.
