The German J/70 National Championship took place from October 3rd to 6th at the Deutscher Touring Yacht Club (DTYC). Twenty-six top-class boats from Germany, China, Denmark, Austria, and Switzerland enjoy eight races on the gorgeous Lake Starnbergersee.

The opening gambit for the three-day event by Mats Schonebeck's team would prove prophetic, opening with a 2-1-2 for a comfortable lead at the end of day one. Thereafter, they counted only podium finishes in their results to finish with 12 pts net and a stunning 13 pts margin of victory. Schonebeck's crew included Moritz Giebelmann, Henrik Peters, and Bjame Stegelmann.

The silver medal was awarded to the Swiss team of Urs Oldani from Lake Zurich. His crew of Gilles Burst, Paco Weiss, and Adrian Iten had a rough start the first day with an 8-17-4 tally to finish mid-fleet. However, over the next two days, they went on a tear with a 2-2-5-3-1 tally to finish with 25 pts net!

Rounding out the podium with the bronze medal was Max Adami's crew of Jannis Summchen, Ferdinand Gerz, and Leanderr Baumann. They also had a rough outing on the first day with a 5-18-3. But, thereafter the team settled down to post a 3-3-2-11-9 for 36 pts net.
