Kieler Woche - Glorious comeback for Robert Scheidt

by Hermann Hell on 24 Jun 2013 At Kieler Woche, sailors from six nations are leading the fleet in eight Olympic sailing disciplines and Paralympic boat classes 2.4mR. With Andrew's marks in the Finn and Sophie Weguelin/Eilidh McIntryre, the British are the first set for the Gold Fleet. In the 49er Delle Karth/Resch and 470 men Schmidt/Reichsstaedter.

Austrians take the lead after the second racing day in the 49er FX (Jurczok/Lorenz) and in the 2.4mR, (Kroeger) German sailors are at the top. The Australian crew Jason Waterhouse/Lisa Darmanin keeps on going in the new Olympic catamaran class Nacra 17, Finish sailor Tuula Tenkanen is in front in the Laser Radial.

In his first year being the single head of organisation for the triangle courses for Kiel Week, Peter Ramcke is happy to have a strong partner. The wind on the second day was great again and made it possible to continue with the successful start of the racing week with 48 race starts. The German athletes were well in front, being able to gain a major part of the first place spots, 20 in total.

Heiko Kroeger (Ammersbek) is the most confident among the German world-class sailors. The Paralympic winner from 2000 dominated the 2.4mR fleet as he liked and may well continue his successful races by coming in first in all three races.

In the 49er, the athletes from the host country were unable to beat the Austrian duo Delle Karth/Nikolaus Resch. The team from the Alps came in first four times in the eight races of the two days and is now the top team in the races of the best 25 crews that will be competing in the Gold Fleet the next two days to decide the six best teams for the final race on Wednesday.

With only 17 teams in the 49erFX, there is no cut for the skiff women. But the top German teams have easily made it, since they are at the top of the fleet. Tina Lutz/Susann Beucke (Bergen/Strande) won two of the four races on Sunday, the German sibling team Jule and Lotta Goerge (Kiel) were leading in the other two races. Now Jurczok/Lorenz are leading, followed by Lutz/Beucke. Goerge/Goerge are right behind the Australians Tessa Parkinson/Chelsea in fourth position.

The Finn is still dominated mainly by the Brits. Mark Andrew leads before Andrew Mills. This duo have won all races up to now with the Swedish Olympic Champion in the Star Max Salminen following them.

Tuula Tenkanen from Finland is sailing way up front in the Laser Radial. In second position is the first in the world ranking Tatiana Drozdovskaya from Belarus.

The two-time World Champion Robert Scheidt from Brasil celebrated a glorious comeback in the Laser. He left the whole fleet of 90 competitors behind him. Philipp Buhl from Kiel is in third position.

In the new Olympic catamaran Nacra 17, the German sailors have learned the hard way. Lisa Rattemeyer from Kiel with her German-Italian helmsman Pietro Sibello were pushed back to position 10. The Australians Jason Waterhouse/Lisa Darmanin are sailing in the front. 'We like these shifty and gusty conditions. It's is just like at home,' explains Waterhouse. 'The fleet here is very good, a good practice for the World Championship in Den Haag in July.'
