At least 1/3 of the German teams and a quarter of all all existing German boats are from the capital. Before it goes on the European Grand Prix tour with races in Italy, Germany, Denmark and France and of course the European championship in June in the Gardasee, the biggest German skiff regatta, the "Skiffmania" in Diessen in Ammersee was on the 5th and 6th May the last possibility for the location after the winter. 7 Germans 18Foot-Skiff-Teams appeared to the showdown of all existing German teams during two days, among them the team "Berlin syndicate" of the Berlin yacht club, steered by Philipp Nocke and team „ Magic Marine “ from the association yachtsman's house in the Wannsee, steered by Norbert Peter with Philipp Berner and Carlo Jurth in sheethand and bowposition. In rainy conditions and very shifty winds about 2-3 beau's forts went the first races above the stage and it ended with a victory of the favorite from Heidelberg, Werner Gieser with team "Wet Protect", second(runner-up) and third(third party) became the Berlin teams . Nevertheless, in the second run the Berliners tuned up and ahead of the whole fleet team Magic Marine marched after good start meanwhile the wind was refreshing on 5 beauforts with flash and thunder and took the lead of 300 metres. A capsize inhibited Werner Gieser on the first downwind additionally, he kept his chances by a quick recovery. Then on the last downwind same happened the leading team „ Magic Marine “ in the last jibe under Genaker, after a little while also to the local matadors Christoph Hagenmeyer of Ammersee, up to that point Second. The now leading second Berlin team also became a victim of the strong wind after a little while. Thus the favorite Wet Protect approached his 2-nd day victory. Magic Marine became after initial guidance(leadership) another 2., Berlin syndicate 3. With this interstate it went the 2-nd day. This was the day of Magic Marine which always showed up in the top rankings of the fleet. A 2-nd place(space) in the first running of the day behind local matador Christoph Hagenmeyer with team „ marine club “ underlined her(their) ambitions to want to make Wet Protect the victory still disputable(litigious). In the 2-nd run Magic Marine found themselves after a good start in front of the field and struggled out metre around metre, but the rest caught up with a wind shift on the first Genakergang, Magic Marine became 4. Does mess up? Maybe if not also Wet Protect had put down a 5-th place(space) in the first run. The showdown in the last run could start, because after the 5-th race there is the first discard who places both teams level on the 1-st place with the 2. Berlner team, Berlin syndicate in runner-up postion. After a good tactical performance on the start cross with at first 3 beauforts found MagicMarine in 3. Run of the day at the top position again and also developed this lead. Meanwhile the wind with a rain front had freshened again on good 4-5 beaufort, and the markorder was Magic Marine, Berlin syndicate, marine club and Wet Protect, behind it the remaining German teams which dealt with a victory nothing more. Then it happened, the last downwindmark was rounded, and already reach of the finish line with the last turn of 100 metres to go before the whole victory an inattentiveness of the crew of Magic Marine destroyed there hopes and they capsized on the last tack in a sudden gust. The same fate shortly after overtake also Berlin syndicate which "cleared off" besides Magic Marine in the water. The way for Christoph Hagenmeyer to the day victory and third overall was free and he used this present. Second(Runner-up) in this last run and also overall with a tiny little point behind from 5 runs became a team Magic Marine around Norbert Peter, Carlo Jurth and Philipp Berner which were in spite of the given away chances contently with the result. Their comment: We have moved on a good way ahead and the German team Wet Protect best nowadays is in touch now. The distance to the last year has shrunk and our spring training camp at the German ocean-going sport federation Hanse in Glücksburg pays off and the mood in the team is great. We get excellent support by our Ausrüster Liros, Magic Marine und Fiberwork GmbH and are glad if we can pay back their efforts in the form of results. Our next races is the European Grand Prix in Dongo and we hope that we can confirm our performance there. We feel hot on it, in any case. Result: 1. Wet Protect 8 points 2. Magic Marine 9 points 3. Club Mrine 10 points 4. Berlin syndicate 11 points 5. Ernst&Young 18 points 6. Spacemodel 24 points 7. Ge-Force 26 points
