The history of the SAILING Champions League and the idea behind it. In 2013 the consulting and holding company «Konzeptwerft» in Hamburg did revolutionize the sailing sport: For the first time the clubs did sail in a competition against each other in a National Sailing League. This enthusiasm was transferred to the whole sailing community, to the regional and nationwide media. Now the most successful sailings clubs compete against each other for a whole season in several events in the SAILING Champions League. The idea is simple: The cup of the national champions. The most successful clubs of the countries with a National Sailing League are competing against each other in several events during the year. At the end the winning club is may call itself, the «Best Sailing Club of the Year». Short races, standardized boats, a standardized course and a competition between the best and prestigious sailing clubs in the world guarantee sailing as its best!
