SAILING CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

2021

eSAILING Champions League starts

Hamburg, February 15, 2021- Before the season kicks off on the water, the SAILING Champions League (SCL) will launch competition in eSailing format for the first time. Up to 228 clubs and players worldwide can compete against each other. 

eSAILING Champions League_Key Visual © SCL

The eSAILING Champions League (eSCL) uses the well-known eSports provider “Virtual Regatta” for this purpose. Within the game, the organizers set up a regatta series that is strongly based on the real SAILING Champions League: There are three qualification rounds, from each of which the top 16 clubs move into a final series. The virtual class is J/70, which is also used in the SCL. The overall winning club of the series can call itself “eSAILING Champions League Winner”.

Jonathan Koch, fifth in the world rankings, wants to start for the Bodensee Yacht Club Überlingen. The nice part about virtual club sailing, he thinks, is being able to represent his club: “It makes sailors who might not otherwise have much to do with eSailing sit up and take notice,” he says happily. Koch sees the game as very tactical, just like in real sailing. “You shouldn’t just rely on the technical tools of the game. It’s important to sail the tacks dynamically, to bear away or luff up on the downwind. That’s when you realize that you can get a lot out of it,” he reveals one of his tips. He already proved that his tactics work in the eSailing Bundesliga in 2020: he was vice-champion.

Oliver Schwall, Managing Director of the SAILING Champions League, sees great potential in the series: “E-sports are becoming more and more popular. So it’s nice to see that sailing is also establishing itself in it.” He is already looking forward to the start of the eSCL.

Entry to the eSCL is open to all players worldwide who are members of a registered sailing club. Up to three eSailors can compete for each club. The SCL sailing competitions are not affected by the virtual format.

All dates:

  • 1st Qualifier: Friday, 05 March 2021, start 5:00 p.m. CET
  • 2nd Qualifier: Friday, 19 March 2021, start 5:00 p.m. CET
  • 3rd Qualifier: Friday, April 02, 2021, start 5:00 p.m. CET
  • Final: Sunday, April 11, 2021, start 5:00 p.m. CET

Sign up is done via the via the registration link. The final will be broadcast live by SailTracks. Spectators can follow the action live on YouTubeFacebook and the SCL website.

Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron Wins SAILING Champions League 2019

The Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron turned on the afterburners in a thrilling four-boat showdown to win the SAILING Champions League 2019 on the lake of St. Moritz (15 to 18 August 2019). The crew from Sydney were the only non-European team among 24 clubs representing ten nations, and now the trophy flies out of Europe for the first time, winging its way to Australia. Finishing in second place were Norddeutscher Regatta Verein from Germany. The other two clubs that contested the four-boat final represented Denmark: Kaløvig Bådelaug finishing third, and Kongelig Dansk Yachtklub in fourth place.

David Chapman, skipper of the winning team, commented: “We are absolutely stoked. We struggled to get a crew together for this regatta so we nearly didn’t come here at all. But what a great team to have sailing with me: Finn and Charlotte Alexander and Zac Quinlan.” Compared with the 51 races of eight-boat heats over the previous days of competition, the four-boat final required a more aggressive approach. No one could match the starting prowess of Chapman and his crew who won the first race of the finals and then followed up with an even more dominant display in race two. That was game, set and match to Australia.

“I know a lot of people back home in Australia were watching online,” smiled Chapman, “and I hope we’ll inspire more teams from Down Under to compete in the SAILING Champions League. It’s such great racing – turn up with your mates, race in equally-matched, provided boats and go sailing. It’s been a lot of fun, and I’m going to stick around an extra day to celebrate tonight.”

Oliver Schwall, founder of the concept of league sailing, commented: “Thanks to beautiful sunny days and the mighty Maloja Winds bringing up to 19 knots of breeze across the outstanding sailing stadium on Lake St. Moritz, the sailors have enjoyed champagne sailing conditions. The organisers ran the event like clockwork, delivering 17 flights of qualifying, along with an incredibly exciting four-boat final.”

The SAILING Champions League is supported by a number of key partners: Juvia, KRAFTWERK, DEDON, Badrutt’s Palace, Breitling, St. Moritz Tourism, Graubünden, DKSH, SAP and Marinepool.

Last Chance to Qualify for the SAILING Champions League Final at Qualifier 3 in St. Petersburg

The last opportunity to qualify for the Final of the SAILING Champions League 2019 is coming up soon – the third and last qualifier which takes place in St. Petersburg, Russia, over four frenetic days from 4 to 7 July. Racing on the Neva River, amid the spectacular scenery of St. Petersburg, is a humbling experience. It’s also a challenge, with shifting winds and strong currents. There are 20 clubs from 12 nations (Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland) fighting for six places that are available for a ticket to the Final in St. Moritz in August.

A first time entrant to the SAILING Champions League is Club Vela Portocivitanova from Italy. “It is a great honour and responsibility for us to be representing the Club Vela Portocivitanova,” said helmsman Michele Regolo. “This is the 70th anniversary of our club, 70 years of sailing history with sailors competing in the America’s Cup, Olympic Games and having multiple ORC world champions and medallists. To bring our club to race among the best in the world for the SAILING Champions League is already a pleasure for us. Not only are we looking forward to a great competition in St. Petersburg but it is also our mission to try to qualify for the final in St. Moritz.“

This is the fourth occasion that St. Petersburg Yacht Club will have hosted a SAILING Champions League regatta, and it’s an association that works well for both parties. “Saint Petersburg hosts the largest sailing events every year. Sportsmen meet at the competitions at one of the best water areas of the world, surrounded by beautiful historical buildings of the Northern Capital’s center. St. Petersburg Yacht Club sees its mission in uniting people around yachting and promotion of the maritime culture. We are glad to host guests from various countries and make their stay maximum comfortable and exciting” said Elena Soloveva, Head of Projects from St. Petersburg Yacht Club.

In total 24 clubs will be coming to race in the big final which will take place from 15 to 18 August high up in the Swiss Alps, in St. Moritz.

Australia’s Debut at Youth SAILING Champions League in Kiel

The Youth SAILING Champions League (YSCL) is set to take place over three days of intense competition from 22 to 24 June. 21 clubs from nine nations, including Australia celebrating its first SAILING Champions League appearance, will be coming to the event which takes place during Kiel Week, the world’s largest sailing event which attracts every kind of sailor, from weekend warriors to Olympic Champions.

The 21 clubs taking part in the under-22 regatta are from Australia; Denmark; Finland; Germany; Italy; Norway; Portugal; Sweden; Switzerland. This is Australia’s first participation in the SAILING Champions League, and Jack Littlechild, the helmsman from the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron, said: “As the first Australian team to compete in a SAILING Champions League event we are extremely excited for the racing in Kiel and thankful for this amazing opportunity. We are also very proud to be representing our country and the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron. We hope that through this event we can help build the National Sailing League at home as it is a great opportunity for all the sailing clubs in Australia and New Zealand to compete against each other in a really fun format of racing.”

Last year’s winner, Bodensee Yacht Club Überlingen (Germany), are back to defend their title. The 2018 YSCL event was also the first time for the four-boat final format to determine the winner. Konstantin Steidle, helmsman from Überlingen, was keen to repeat the club’s winning ways: “Since March we have been training several weekends and we have also sailed the German Youth League in Starnberg with almost the same team composition. Of course we hope to win the Youth SAILING Champions League again, although we know that our national and international competitors will send strong and well trained teams.”

The regatta will have two slots in the live broadcast of Kiel Week on Saturday, 22 June, from 13:00hrs to 15:00hrs (CEST) and on Monday, 24 June, from 12:00hrs (CEST). The live broadcast is available on sailing-championsleague.com.

Qualifier 2 of SAILING Champions League Under the Motto of Sustainability

Hamburg, 21 May 2019 – The SAILING Champions League 2019 continues with the second qualifier taking place in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, from 23 to 26 May. Once again the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda (YCCS) is set to play host to a SAILING Champions League event. This year the regatta is entitled ‘One Ocean SAILING Champions League’ as the One Ocean Foundation is the presenting partner of this event.

Among the 24 clubs representing 16 nations will also be the reigning champion of SAILING Champions League 2018, Circolo della Vela Bari (CVB), that won the regatta in St Moritz last August. Simone Ferrarese, Team Manager from CVB, commented: “We are really looking forward to race again in Porto Cervo against some of the best clubs in Europe. Last year we had a really good season but we will really try to enjoy racing in there and have the same fun we had in 2018, of course we want to bring our best performance as possible and see where it will bring us!“ Edoardo Recchi, Sports Director of YCCS, commented: “This will be our fifth SCL regatta and we expect the traditional sportsmanship and fair racing from the clubs that are gathering here from all around Europe.”

The seven best clubs will earn a place at the final in St Moritz, which takes place high up in the Swiss Alps from 15 to 18 August.

In 2017, when the YCCS celebrated its 50th anniversary, the yacht club launched the One Ocean environmental sustainability project. The initiative, strongly supported by Princess Zahra Aga Khan, is focused on safeguarding the marine environment. Jan Pachner, Secretary General of YCCS commented: “We are happy to be able to promote the principles of the One Ocean Foundation and the Charta Smeralda through events such as the SAILING Champions League, raising awareness with all the participants in the regatta, who represent 24 of the top yacht clubs in Europe, on safeguarding the sea.”

Already the season has begun with some beautiful racing conditions at the first qualifier event in Palma de Mallorca. Eight clubs already qualified in Palma. The last qualifier takes place in Saint Petersburg, Russia, from 4 to 7 July.

More information on the One Ocean Foundation and the Charta Smeralda ethical code are available on www.1ocean.org.

Palma Set to Open Season Six of SAILING Champions League

Hamburg, 7 May 2019 – The SAILING Champions League 2019 kicks off with the first qualifier event of the season in Palma de Mallorca. Now in its sixth season, this will be the first time the SAILING Champions League has visited this beautiful Mediterranean island, a Mecca for grand prix sailing.

The event takes place from 9th to 12th May and will be hosted by the Club Nàutic s’Arenal (CNA), which has a long history of running big sailing championships. “We are very proud to be welcoming sailors from all across Europe for such an important regatta,” said Ferran Muniesa, General Manager of CNA.

A total of 27 clubs from 16 nations will be contesting the regatta, including the Société Nautique de Genève from Switzerland, the runner-up from season 2018. The Swiss can expect fierce competition from a number of quarters. The 16 nations competing are: Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

The Palma regatta is the first of three Qualifiers this summer, with the second event due in Porto Cervo, Sardinia, at the end of May. A few weeks later it’s on to St Petersburg, Russia, for the third and concluding Qualifier before the grand finale in August. The big showdown for the season takes place in St Moritz, high up in the Swiss Alps, from 15 to 18 August.

Founder and co-organiser of the SAILING Champions League, Oliver Schwall commented: “Opening the sixth season of SAILING Champions League in Palma de Mallorca is a very special moment in the history of this format. It’s not only the kick-off of the new season. It’s furthermore the kick-off of the first intercontinental championship in league sailing, as we are looking forward to welcome teams from Australia and New Zealand at this year’s final in St Moritz after those clubs qualified within the National Sailing League of Oceania.”

Thirty-one yacht clubs representing twelve nations came to St Moritz to fight for the prestigious silver trophy in the SAILING Champions League Final 2018.

For the second consecutive year, the silver trophy of the SAILING Champions League stays in Italy. The CVB from the southeast coast of Italy takes over the title from their fellow Italians from Yacht Club Costa Smeralda. Three months after winning Semifinal 1 of SAILING Champions League in Porto Cervo, Simone Ferrarese, Valerio Galati, Corrado Capece Minutolo and Leonardo Dinelli claim the title ‘Best Sailing Club of the Year’.

Simone Ferrarese admitted: “We were very, very lucky, we can’t pretend it was anything else. But we never gave up, even when we were a long way behind. Sometimes we were unlucky on other days so maybe the luck came back for us today. Over the four days I think we have sailed very well and all of us are so happy to have won this regatta, to make Circolo della Vela Bari the best sailing club in Europe.”

The Italians won in the most extraordinary showdown between the top four teams who qualified through to the four-boat final. After seven flights of eight-boat races, it was the Swiss team, Société Nautique de Genève, who came through qualification at the top of the leaderboard. If the Swiss could win the first race of the finals, the ‘first-to-two-wins’ format for this competition would have made them the champions.

In a very light-airs final race, it looked like the Swiss would indeed close out the regatta. The Germans, Norddeutscher Regatta Verein and Wassersport Verein Hemelingen, were parked on the far side of the final run and it looked like the regatta was slipping away. But a small gust from behind wafted the Italians past the Germans and the Swiss. As they crossed the finish line, all four boats were overlapped but CVB won the race by only one metre, and the SAILING Champions League 2018 after adding up the points.

The light-airs conditions came in strong contrast to the two semifinals which took place earlier in the summer. Porto Cervo produced moderate winds in Sardinia, while St Petersburg produced some all-out planing conditions on the Neva River, with winds gusting up to 30 knots. St Moritz was a much more subtle challenge. While day one produced perfect breezes under bright blue skies, the next three days of lighter wind demanded smooth boathandling and roll-tacking in the sub-5 knot conditions.

The host, the city of St Moritz, worked closely with the hosting club of Sailing Club St. Moritz and the region Graubünden to make sure that this gathering of international talent was given a world-class reception, with lavish parties in the evening and a great opportunity for all the international crews to get to know each other better.

Martin Berthod, director of St Moritz Tourism was delighted to have welcomed so many top- level crews to the lake high in the Alps: “Water sports and sailing in summer is as important to us and the Engadine region as winter sports in winter. We want to offer our guests sports and relaxation, so we took the chance to work together with the SAILING Champions League to present sailing to our guests with hosting the final for the best clubs in Europe.”

The SAILING Champions League is proud to be supported by a number of key partners: Juvia, KRAFTWERK, DEDON, Breitling, Badrutt’s Palace, DKSH, SAP and Marinepool.

For the clubs on the podium, three main partners handed over special prices:
1st place – Breitling: four watches of the model Superocean Héritage
2nd place – DEDON: a deep sofa from the TIGMI collection
3rd place – KRAFTWERK: one Nautic Tool Trolley equipped with tools and four Swiss army knives

Young Germans from Bodensee Yacht Club Ueberlingen Win Youth SAILING Champions League in Travemuende


Travemuende, 29 July 2018 – Three days of intense competition and a nailbiting four-boat final sees Bodensee Yacht Club Ueberlingen from Germany win the first ever event in the Youth SAILING Champions League after a stellar performance in Travemuende, Germany. Kongelig Dansk Yachtklub from Denmark is runner-up ahead of fellow Danish team from Roskilde Sejlklub in third place. Not only was this the first SAILING Champions League event aimed specifically at sailors aged between 16 and 23, it was also the first time a new race format – the four-boat final – has been tested.

After two final races, the first winner of the Youth SAILING Champions League is the German Bodensee Yacht Club Ueberlingen from Lake Constance. The young crew with helmsman Konstantin Steidle, Alexandra Lauber, Patrick Hasse and Jonathan Koch went as third ranked club into the Final Series and secured the overall win. Helmsman Konstantin Steidle explained: “The last race was really close and we are just happy to have won! It’s amazing but we haven’t realised it so far. We sailed at our best in the final races. It was a tough competition, especially the Danish teams did a great job, as well.”
Crew Jonathan Koch commented on the new Finals format: “We were very nervous about the final races but it was a lot of fun. It’s just all to zero before the races and every team can win. It’s a great idea.”

For the front group, the final day was all about making sure you had done enough to make it through to the four-boat final. After twelve flights with 36 races, the final was a battle Denmark vs. Germany: the Kongelig Dansk Yachtklub (KDY) and Roskilde Sejlklub from Denmark against Bodensee Yacht Club Ueberlingen (BYCUe) and Lindauer Segler Club from Germany.
This new Finals format means that your overall position from Qualifying is taken into the Final Series. So as winner of the Qualifying Series, KDY carried through a first place and hence already one race win. Whichever of the four clubs secures two race wins would become the overall champion.
In the first final race, BYCUe won, putting them level with KDY, the winner of Qualifying. The other two yacht clubs were really starting to feel the heat, desperately needing a win in the next race. In final race 2, BYCUe earned her second race win, giving the young crew from Germany the overall victory.

Oliver Schwall, founder and co-organiser of the SAILING Champions League said: “The experiment with the four-boat Final was a great way to finish off the regatta. It keeps the interest and excitement for much longer, because whoever wins the last race becomes the overall winner. How often do you see that in sailing? It will be interesting to see if other areas of the sport pick up on this idea. We’re proud to have been the ones to pioneer it here in Travemuende at the first ever Youth SAILING Champions League.”

The atmosphere among the 18 clubs from eight nations was friendly, respectful and exemplary for other events. “The sportsmanship you showed during the event was outstanding and set the benchmark for sailing worldwide,” added Oliver Schwall at the prize giving ceremony. “This weekend has been an important step forward for the League concept, two big experiments confirmed as a success. Innovation is risky, but we had a good feeling about introducing a Youth SAILING Champions League, and actually it has gone much better than I ever imagined. And with around 20% of the sailors being female, that created a fun atmosphere. It would be great see even more girls competing here in future events.”

Over the three days, the clubs experienced all kinds of wind conditions: from Freaky Friday, with the wind averaging 17 knots and gusting quite a bit more at times with big waves – it was a day to hang on to your hats – to lighter airs on Saturday and Sunday putting a greater emphasis on tactics.

Next weekend, the league competition continues with Semifinal #2 of the senior circuit of the SAILING Champions League. The event is hosted by St. Petersburg Yacht Club in Russia from 3 to 6 August, just a few weeks before the 2018 Final which will be hosted for the first time by Sailing Club St. Moritz, high up in the Swiss Alps from 30 August to 2 September.

Eight Nations to Contest First Ever Youth SAILING Champions League

Hamburg/Travemünde, 25 July 2018 – The Youth SAILING Champions League is the latest innovation to be launched out of the successful SAILING Champions League format, and 18 crews from eight nations are getting ready to compete against each other in Travemünde, Germany, from 27 to 29 July. The first-ever league competition exclusively for sailors from 16 to 23 years old at Travemünde Week attracts prestigious yacht clubs from Austria, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland. These talented young sailors will be the first to trial a new Final Series format to determine the regatta winner.

Some of the yacht clubs are already well-versed in the short-course windward-leeward style of racing that takes place in a professionally-maintained fleet of J/70 sportsboats. The Royal Danish Yacht Club (Kongelig Dansk Yachtklub) recently won the inaugural event in the Women’s SAILING Champions League at Kiel Week, in addition to also leading the overall standings at this stage of the Danish National Sailing League 2018. Can helmsman Emil Kjaer uphold the honour of his prestigious Copenhagen yacht club against some stiff competition from across Europe?

Other clubs with good form at the senior level include Circolo della Vela Bari, with the team from southern Italy clinching the first SAILING Champions League semifinal in Porto Cervo a few weeks ago. There is nothing to stop the under-23 sailors from competing in the other League events, and it’s those that carry prior experience through from other regattas that are likely to be threatening for the podium in Travemünde.

Catharina Sandman, one of 17 female sailors competing in Travemünde, from the Finnish entry Nyländska Jaktklubben said: “Our team consists of two girls and three boys and our background is mostly in dinghies such as the Optimist, Laser, 29er and 49er. We have all been sailing together since we were kids mostly competing against each other so we are really excited to finally team up and join forces. We are very much looking forward to the first Youth SAILING Champions League and we are expecting tough competition with great spirit.”

Trial of new Final Series
As well as being the first ever youth event in the league format, there is a new Final Series being trialled which should bring the event to a more exciting, spectator-friendly conclusion. The top four boats from the Qualifying stage go through to the Final Series, carrying forward their ranking from Qualifying as a single race score. The winner of Qualifying would carry through a race win, the runner-up would carry through two points, and so on.

Now the Final Series can begin with just four boats in the race, and the teams will race against each other until one team has won two races. If the winner of Qualifying wins the first race of the Final Series, they become the outright winner of the regatta. On the other hand, the maximum number of races that could take place is four, if the race wins have been evenly distributed across all four teams.

Founder and co-organiser of the SAILING Champions League, Oliver Schwall commented: “We’ve got a good feeling about this ‘first to two wins’ format. It’s an experiment, but the beauty of this system is that the winner of the last race becomes the overall winner. We feel that this system offers a good balance between rewarding a consistent performance throughout the Qualifying stage, while also keeping the tension and excitement until the very last race of the competition.

The youth competitors will be following in the footsteps of the senior circuit, with 36 clubs having just raced at Travemünde last weekend for the German Sailing League.

Nynne Ammundsen, General Secretary from ISLA (International Sailing League Association) was delighted to see such a good showing of teams from across Europe: “Following the runaway success of the league format over the past five years, establishing a youth league was an obvious next step. We’re delighted to see such a strong uptake for this first event in the Youth SAILING Champions League and I’m sure the competition will be every bit as fierce as we see at the senior level. The youth is the future and therefore ISLA can only applaud all the great work that has been done so far to make the Youth SAILING Champions League event happen.”

Women’s SAILING Champions League 2018

Seven Nations Compete in First Women’s SCL

© SCL/Lars WehrmannWomen’s SAILING Champions League is about to begin with a first all-female regatta this weekend at the start of Kieler Woche [aka Kiel Week, the biggest sailing regatta in the world]. This event is the latest innovation to be launched out of the successful SAILING Champions League format. Taking place from 16 to 18 June, this innovative regatta presented by Audi has attracted prestigious yacht clubs from Denmark, Finland, Germany, Lithuania, Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland.

It is fair to say that the Danes from Kongelig Dansk Yachtklub (KDY) are fielding one of the strongest and most experienced crews for Kieler Woche; at the helm is Danish Olympic representative Henriette Koch, crewed by a team many of whom raced together when they won the 2015 Women’s Match Racing World Championship, including Tina Schmidt Gramkov who also sailed for Denmark in the match racing event at London 2012.
