Youth Sailors Travel to Kiel Week

Julia Cohen-Pinsky and Hans Csaszar made the leap across the pond and attended the Kiel Week in Kiel, Germany, June 23-30, 2025 in the i420 class. The sailing event venue was the German Olympic Training Center, which was the site of the 1972 Olympic Games. The scale of the venue, the number of boats entered (450), the different classes of boats – all the Olympic classes plus many more as well as the offshore racing (love those J70s!) and the old three-masters, cutters, etc.- was a sight to behold.
