Sailing event held at Ingolstadt's dam
Last Saturday, the City Championship in Sailing took place at the STC Rot-Weiß (STCI) club, with eight sailing boats from both participating clubs, STCI and ESV, competing. Under perfect weather and light to moderate winds, the event provided ample time between races for refreshments and good conversations.
Defending Champion Thomas Scheibler from ESV successfully defended his title and became the city champion again. Race officer Wilfried Krupp noted that the distance between Thomas Scheibler's Laser (ESV) and Ernst Rohrhuber's Kielzugvogel (ESV) was extremely close in all races, making the competition particularly intense.
Ernst Rohrhuber with crew Thea finished in second place, while Anemos Pashias (ESV) finished in third place in his Cyclone. Deputy Mayor Franz Wöhrl (CSU) presented the awards on behalf of Mayor Dr. Michael Kern, and later tapped a keg of beer for the subsequent sailors' gathering.
Matthias Wunderlich, department head at STCI, commented on the unique feature of being able to go sailing after work in a big city. He also noted that Deputy Mayor Wöhrl is a regular at events of the clubs on the Danube.
The City Championship in Sailing consisted of a total of nine races (three races with three rounds each), and all three races were completed successfully. However, no new information was provided about the specific type of sailing boats used in the competition.
City-level sailing championships and defending champions are often determined by local yacht clubs or city sailing associations, and such details may be found on those organizations' websites or local sailing news sources. Unfortunately, no specific city was identified in the available information.
Regardless, the City Championship in Sailing at the STC Rot-Weiß (STCI) club was a testament to the thriving sailing community in the city, and a great display of competitive spirit and camaraderie among the participants.
Thomas Scheibler's achievement in securing the city champion title in sailing once again showcases his skill in sports. Ernst Rohrhuber also demonstrated his expertise in sports, finishing in second place.
