Seven (7) US teams competed in the German National Championships sailed on Lake Walchensee July 9th-12th. Conditions were very shifty and winds were up to 14 knots. A good time was had by all sailors. Five (5) nations were represented at the regatta: GBR, GER, AUS, USA and AUT. After 12 races, Paris and Hans Henken won the Championship by 2 points over the Australians! Tyler Macdonald and Willie McBride were the 2nd Americans, 4th overall, followed by another new team of Zack Downing and Andrew Cates in 7th. Other good efforts were Andrew and Matthew Mollerus in 17th, Michael Deady and Sterling Henken in 19th, Newt Cutcliffe and Dane Wilson in 20th, and new 29er sailors Adele Whitmyer and Katie Kellie in 38th! The teams used this event as a warm up for the 29er Europeans, which will be the largest 29er regatta this summer.
