Next to the strong polish classes of Zagele 500, T1, T2, T3, the offshore classes rated by ORC Club or KWR Rules, were numerous international and internationally known classes such as the Hobie 16, Hornet, Micro, OK Jolle, Omega class, Snipe, Nautica 450 Fun and Race as well as Star boats with strong field representation.

Held along with the competition of the European Dinghy Championship qualifications was the Polish Championship for Nautica 450, Hornet and Hobie 16.

This year, Tactix Yachting Solutions sent a German team, Martin Jannsen (FSC) and Fritjof Richter (KYC), to take part of the Polish Championship in the Nautica 450 class and made a great first impression in their debut of the international Nautica scene by placing 2nd in the Nautica 450 Race group and 3rd place overall.

“It was a great event and we had a lot of fun. With more time and preparation, we could have sailed much further ahead of the field,” admits Martin Jannsen from FSC who had fifteen hours before regatta start, picked up the boat in Berlin and drove through to Danzig.

Tactix Yachting Solutions markets and sells the Nautica 450 in northern Germany and is supported in the southern half by their strong partner, Segelsport Häring. The Nautica 450 is an internationally fast growing boat class that is distinguished through its simple handling and high speed potential. It combines the good-natured sailing characteristics of a dinghy with the impressive sailing experience of a skiff.

After the Polish Championship, the Nautica 450 Race has been returned to Tactix Yachting Solutions in Berlin and stands ready for interested sailors to test sail.

In addition to the Nautica 450, Tactix Yachting Solutions also sells and distributes the sporty mak7 Yachts, Beilken Sails for regatta and cruising sailors, Tacktick Electronics as well as electric outboard engines by Torqeedo.

mak7 Success at Kiel Week 2011

admin — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 14:31:38 +0000

Last week, the annual races of the Kiel Week were held for the 128th time in Kiel, Germany.

As every year, many World and European Championships as well as German Opens were hosted by the organizers of the Kiel Week, known as the world’s biggest sailing event.

For the third time in a row the Tactix Yachting Solutions promotion teams joined the Kiel Week in their sporty mak7 yachts. After good placements in their debut year and fantastic top ten positions in the ORCi German Open which were held in Kiel last year, the crew of the boat “mak my day” (mak7-cruise) was able to achieve 3rd place of the Kiel Cup this year. This is the first big success for the young boat class in Kiel Week.

The mak7 ladies team with skipper Anke Scheuermann missed a placement in the top three just by a hair, but showed with their boat “Gothaer” (mak7-race) in sometimes heavy conditions with rain and winds over 30kn that they had full control of their boat at all times.

The mak7 were by far the smallest boats on the race course alpha (race course for sea-going yachts on Kiel Week), and were surrounded by yachts that easily cost 3 to 30 times as much as a well-equipped mak7.

Tactix Yachting Solutions promotes mak7 Yachts since 2009 and provides the racing teams with serial production boats which are equipped with Millennium membrane sails and racing spinnakers from Beilken Sails. As navigation electronics, the Racemaster from Tacktick were used and the boats were moored in the habor by the use of powerful electric engines produced by Torqeedo. All these products are tested, distributed and promoted by Tactix Yachting Solutions and their racing teams.

Now both racing boats are back in Berlin and available for sea trials. Contact your local mak7 dealer or Tactix Yachting Solutions for your trial appointment.
