RS Venture Connect

Sailing is an incredibly liberating experience. The award-winning RS Venture SCS makes that possible for almost everyone – and that means a lot to us. The RS Venture takes accessible boats to the next level, with simple, modular ways of adapting the boat to a variety of disabilities, right down to electronic inhale/exhale steering devices. Everything can be retrofitted on the same boat. This feature makes it possible for clubs, foundations and other organizations to run the parasailing program on a long-term basis. Costs and time can be saved, and in return even more sailors can be offered unforgettable experiences.

Patronage

»The Inclusion World Championship for Sailing sails ahead as a role model for inclusion in practice. Sporting events like this show that it is worth fighting for the rights of disabled people. Because sailing is one of the most inclusive sports there is. «

STEFANIE DRESE, Minister for Social Affairs, Health and Sport 

»This third world championship in inclusive sailing shows that sailing is possible for everyone. Everyone can contribute their personal strengths to the team and the handicap is subordinate. Sailing together, getting to know each other and thus reducing each other’s insecurities and prejudices – that is inclusion! «

NORDDEUTSCHER REGATTA VEREIN

ONE OF THE OLDEST AND LARGEST SAILING CLUBS

The Norddeutsche Regatta Verein is one of the oldest and, with currently about 2,000 members, one of the largest German sailing clubs. Founded in 1868, it is dedicated to regattas and sailing and particularly promotes young sailors.

PIONEER IN INCLUSIVE SAILING

In 2019, the NRV launched a major inclusion offensive. In addition to the renovation of the clubhouse and the harbour, this includes, above all, inclusive sailing regattas.  In 2019, the NRV hosted the World Championship in Inclusive Sailing for the first time.

REGATTA IS OUR DNA

The NRV is a co-organiser of Kiel Week, hosts the Helga Cup and is known for organising top-class regattas.

Cooperation Partner

ROSTOCKER REGATTA VEREIN

ASSOCIATION

The Rostock sailing clubs and the Hanseatic City of Rostock have jointly founded a regional umbrella organisation, the RVV. This means that there is a contact person in the Warnow area and the lake area off Warnemünde who pools the resources and contacts of the clubs and takes over the organisation from among them.

10 ASSOCIATIONS

Together for a strong regatta organisation

Yachtclub Möhnesee e.V.

TRADITION AND AMBITION

The Yachtclub Möhnesee e.V. is the oldest and, with 500 members, the largest sailing club on the Möhnesee. In its 73-year history, the YCM has produced many good regatta sailors and participants in World and European Championships and the Olympic Games. Since 2019 we have been sailing in the 2nd German Sailing League.

AMBITIONS FOR INCLUSION

In 2019, the starting signal for more inclusion in the YCM was given. In addition to action days and training, this includes participation in the World Championships in Rostock 22. Our goal is to offer young people and adults with disabilities access to sailing.

INCLUSION THROUGH COOPERATION

We cannot achieve inclusion and participation on our own. The Möhnesee Yacht Club is therefore an active member of a committed network that has set itself the goal of enabling inclusive sailing in Germany.
