Swan Tuscany Challenge

Kieler Woche
Kiel, September 5th - 13th
The 135th edition of Kieler Woche saw the participation and the victory of Swan 46 MKII Rarotonga in ORC II class. Christoph Mählmann, part of the crew since 1995, commented on the result. “We love to sail her in strong winds and when it is time for the up-wind leg in such conditions, she is showing what a SWAN 46 is made for” Mählmann explained the main reason for this outstanding result. “The weather conditions have been perfect, with a lot of wind up to 35 knots, during the largest sailing event in the world, taking place in Kiel every year. Great to see that one of Nautor’s older designs and construction can still be a winner of its class, when sailed right. The Rarotonga-Sailing-Team is based on the ownership of Werner Lemmel, who fully supports us and provides the yacht faithfully for hard racing. The whole Team is very thankful for this and pass their regards to the Owners.” Our congratulations go out to Rarotonga, Crew, and Owner.

CLUBSWAN STORIES
ClubSwan 50 Hatari described by her owner and skipper Marcus Brennecke.
“Hatari means Danger in Swahili. I was born in Mombasa and I grew up in Kenya. My father was in shipping and he was a passionate sailor.
He owned two Swans, a 38 and a 441 on which I sailed many miles. He won many races in Mombasa with a boat called Hatari.
The logo for the name Hatari shows two sails and a panther. The back of the panther looks like a wave and it was created by the skiing instructor of my little daughter.”
