A strong north wind over the Warnow river makes the two shining Dehler 30 one design boats rock on the floating jetty, while on the evening of 29 November the first owners of the new offshore racers arrive at the premises of Speedsailing. Together with the protagonists of the ambitious one design project they want to found the Dehler 30 one design class association. Among them are project manager Karl Dehler, Felix Hauß and Oliver Schmidt-Rybandt from Speedsailing, and designer Matthias Bröker from Judel/Vrolijk. At the opening of the meeting, Felix Hauß summarized the goal of the class association in a few words. It is to become a modern class, open to all, growing fast and setting new accents in offshore racing with a large field at a high sporting level. In a formal act a constitution of the class association is read out, discussed and unanimously approved. Uwe Barthel is elected as chairman and Karl Dehler and Felix Hauß as deputies.
