This is Kiel - a capital of sailing
Kiel - a City Portrait
The best conditions on the water and perfect organisation ashore have brought Kiel the reputation of a capital of sailing. Every year, the Schleswig-Holstein Land capital trumps its own leading position with outstanding international sailing events. It is not only in being the organiser of two Olympic sailing competitions (in 1936 and in 1972) that has established "KIEL.SAILING MEKKA" (ISAF-President Göran Peterson) worldwide as a hallmark for quality.
