WELCOME!
Dear Sailors,
I am pleased to welcome you to the International German Championship of the Flying
Dutchman class 2021 at the Baltische Segler-Vereinigung e.V..
It is an honour for us to host this championship for you.
We hope that you will experience an enjoyable and beautiful regatta series and will
create the necessary conditions for this. But for a thrilling competition you can only
take care of yourself and I wish all sailors successful and fair races.
Our organising team is at your disposal with advice and help at any time. I would like
to take this opportunity to thank the many helpers, as without their untiring
commitment we could not carry out this regatta.
You are on the grounds of the Baltische Segler-Vereinigung and you may wonder how
it happened that there is a Baltische Segler-Vereinigung at the Steinhuder Meer.
The origins of the Baltische Segler-Vereinigung lie in the Baltic States, the present-day
territory of Estonia and Latvia. It refers to five venerable societies, the oldest of which
is the Riga Yacht Club from 1878. Due to the political changes, the ethnic German
population was relocated to Danzig before the Second World War, and the Baltic
sailing clubs were re-established in 1940 as Baltische Segler-Vereinigung.
After the end of World War II, the Baltic sailors re-established the club again and built
a new club house at the Steinhuder Meer.
Enjoy your time in the championship and the wonderful ambience of our countryside
as well as the view of the sunsets from our terrace.

Welcome and „Gode Wind“!
Yours,
Markus Fleischer
Commodore of the Baltischen Segler-Vereinigung

Brief history of the Baltische Segler-Vereinigung e.V. 1878/1940

The Baltische Segler-Vereinigung (BSV) dates back to the foundation of the Riga Yacht
Club in 1878. Following the example, a number of other sailing clubs was soon founded
in the bay area of Riga up to Reval (Tallinn) at the Gulf of Finland.

For more than 50 years yachtsmen of these clubs competed against each other in
local Baltic regattas. Not only sailing but also ice sailing in the winter time was very
popular.

It all came to a sudden stop when many Baltic sailors were forced to relocate to the
west as result of the Hitler-Stalin pact at the beginning of World War II. In 1940 members
from 5 different Baltic sailing clubs got together in Gdynia (Gdingen) in the bay of
Gdansk and formally founded the BSV. On account of the war however sailing here
was short-lived and by the end of the war many members of the BSV had fled as war
refugees and were spread all over Northern Germany.

Still the sailors managed to stay in contact and to revive the BSV five years after the
war. However, for the next 15 years the sailors did not have their own club home until
they seized the opportunity to purchase 13000 m² of wet meadow overgrown with
reed at the lake Steinhude. They started to drain and silt-up the ground and to build
the harbour. In 1985 the buildings were finally finished in the shape of today.

In parallel to the development in Steinhude two other regional groups of the BSV
developed in Hamburg and Berlin. Today all three groups have about 750 members in
total with Steinhude representing the biggest branch. A seagoing IMX 40 yacht is also
part of the club's inventory.

The Statute of the BSV explicitly emphasises the importance of promoting youth. About
25% of the members are young people. And in addition to our own summer camp, we
also provide the basis for annual sailing projects of two schools.

Therefore, the International German Championship of the Contender class is an
excellent opportunity to practice this youth development in conjunction with regatta
sport. We believe that our young sailors are also well received in foreign regattas and
we want to make our contribution here and cultivate good sportsmanship. Ultimately,
these are events that motivate regatta sailing.
