8-Metre Euro Cup at Rolex Baltic Week

KIEL, GERMANY. The highlight of the seventh Rolex Baltic Week from 30 June to 4 July will be the 8-Metre fleet racing for their Euro Cup, in exactly the same waters where this class sailed their last ever Olympic competitions. The traditional Metre class will see both classic yachts and modern boats fight for the European title off Kiel. Among the fleet will be a number of the legendary boats who raced for Olympic medals off Duesternbrook 74 years ago. The Kieler Yacht-Club (KYC), in cooperation with the Flensburger Segel-Club, will also welcome the majestic 12mR and racy 6mR yachts for the Robbe & Berking Sterling Cup. All yachts will berth in the famous basins of the former Olympic marina, right in front of the recently renovated KYC clubhouse on the Hindenburgufer shore.
