Kiel ORC World Championship at the highest level

February 10, 2023
A look at the entry lists shows that nearly all the top finishers from the ORC European Championship 2022 in Hankø (Norway) and the ORC World Championship 2021 in Tallinn (Estonia) are heading to Kiel. A total of 81 yachts from 13 nations are currently on the entry list.

Turning back the clock

January 31, 2023
It is the comeback of the year 2023: The “Tutima” (owner Jörg Delecate/watch manufacturer Tutima Glashütte) returns to the championship regatta scene at the ORC World Championship off Kiel (August 4-12). The all-female crew organized by skipper Kirsten Harmstorf-Schönwitz (Mühlenberger Segel-Club/MSC) was an integral part of the offshore scene for over eleven years (2009 to 2020).

ORC World Championship supported by participants and partners

January 18, 2023
Reigning World and European champions, former World champions and runners-up will also meet absolute newcomers – there are currently entries from twelve nations – and strong partners from the business community.

Back at the place of record: ORC World Championship 2023 in Kiel

November 26, 2021
It was the biggest ORC World Championship ever. 151 offshore yachts from 15 nations competed in the 2014 World Championship in Kiel. This mark is unrivaled, and the offshore sailing world is still raving about it today. Now the ORC World Championship is coming to the Schleswig-Holstein state capital for the second time in 2023. From August 4 to 12, the Kieler Yacht-Club as organizer wants to get as close as possible to its own record.
