Academic sailing association in Kiel
The Academic Sailing Club in Kiel is a student sailing club in Kiel .
history
The Academic Sailing Association in Kiel was founded on June 11, 1910, unlike the models of the Academic Sailing Associations in Berlin, Munich and Danzig, not as a corporation , but as a student association. The newly founded association was able to establish itself quickly and already had 22 members in the same winter semester. With the first Regina , long sea voyages could be carried out before the First World War by the standards of the time: in 1912 to Saint Petersburg and in 1913 as the first German yawl to the Shetland Islands . The association grew rapidly and in 1914 already had 88 active members, 33 old men and 53 extraordinary members.
The First World War brought the club to a standstill, and it was not until 1919 that new life came to the club. The Regina did not survive the war and had to be sold. The planned new purchase could not be realized because the hyperinflation made the cash worthless. In 1927 another ocean-going ship could be procured, the Regina II , at that time the third largest German sailing yacht . After several victories with this yacht, including the Helgoland North Sea Week and the Regatta Rund Skagen (today Pantaenius Rund Skagen Race ), it had to be sold in 1935 due to severe rust damage. The Regina III came in 1937, but could only be used until the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. During the Second World War, almost all of the club's assets were destroyed by bomb damage.
After the war, all student associations were banned by the occupying powers, including the ASV in Kiel. Independent of this, the old Kiel members gathered around Kiel, but also from ASV Danzig, ASV Rostock and ASV Berlin and organized around Peter von Danzig from ASV Danzig, who was able to be rescued to Kiel under difficult circumstances. This group supported the re-establishment of a student sailing club, which was founded in 1947 as an academic sailing club and later took on the old name of ASV in Kiel again. Peter von Danzig was made available to this newly founded association and later transferred. This ocean-going yacht shaped the club until 1991, when it was replaced by a modern successor. In addition to training the members on dinghies and small keel boats , it was above all the ocean voyages across the Atlantic , around Iceland , to the Azores and the like that made the association special. 1972/73 took part in the first The Whitbread Round the World Race (today Volvo Ocean Race ). With the technically obsolete ship, the crew was less able to make a name for itself through sporting results than through the nautical execution, and received the award "For the best performance of a losing yacht" from the competition. In total, members of the ASV in Kiel received the Schlimbach Prize four times , the highest award in Germany for deep sea sailing, for trips on club yachts.
In 1992 the new Peter von Danzig, designed by Georg Nissen and built by Thyssen-Nordseewerke , was put into service. Since then, several blue water voyages have also been carried out with this ship , in 1992 as part of the Columbus regatta of the Sail Training Association to New York , 1995 to Iceland and Greenland , 1996/97 around the world as part of the Hong Kong Challenge, 2000 Transatlantic to Bermuda and New England and 2002/03 wintering in the Caribbean and participation in the DaimlerChrysler North Atlantic Challenge of the North German Regatta Club.
Club structure
The association currently consists of active students. The association sees itself as a bond of life and is traditionally divided into Aktivitas and the old ladies and gentlemen, whereby the students shape the life of the club. The boat park consists of three keel yachts ( Peter von Danzig , 17 m and 12 berths , Ellide , 10 m and 6 berths, Springburn , 7.5 m and 4 berths), a sport boat Laser SB3 , a pirate and two lasers . The boathouse on the keel line is the center of the club life .
activities
In addition to the regularly conducted ocean voyages - it is the association's claim to enable every student to do such a trip during their studies - it is above all the smaller trips to the North and Baltic Seas on the three yachts and the day trips on the Kiel Fjord that are the focus of the Make sailing off . From 2005 to 2011 the association organized an annual dinghy regatta on the Kiel inner fjord, the ASV Inshore Race Weekend .
particularities
The flagship of the Kiel ASV - Peter von Danzig - is, contrary to nautical tradition, a "male" ship.
