Posted September 05, 2021

The curtains of the 99th Star World Championship have been officially lifted with the Opening Ceremony, tonight at the legendary 1972 Olympic Village in Kiel, Germany. A parade of the sailors with a flag bearer for each of the 18 nations represented by the 83 teams marked the opening of the Gold Star event, that was to take place last year but, as many other international regattas, got postponed. Everyone is eager to race and most of the large fleet hit the water today in 15knots northerly breeze, sunshine and the typical ‘Kiel chop’.
