The German Sailing Association, founded in 1888 . V. (DSV) is the national interest group and the top sports association of German sailors . It is the umbrella organization for over 1200 sailing and surfing clubs (as of 2019), for 16 national sailing associations and 85 class associations .

The DSV represents Germany in the umbrella organization for sailing ( World Sailing ) and sailing in the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB).

history

The association was founded in 1888 with Adolf Burmester as its first chairman. The founding associations of the North German Regatta Association, Imperial Yacht Club , Seglerhaus am Wannsee Association , SC Rhe Königsberg , Berlin Sailing Club , Berlin Regatta Association , Academic Sailing Association in Berlin , Spandauer met in the business premises of the North German Regatta Association in Hamburg Yacht Club , Hamburg Elbe Sail Regatta Club, St. George Sailing Club . Associations of the DSV were only allowed to accept members who “did not live from their hands”.

During the year 1933, the DSV has been brought into line . At the same time, the Free Sailing Association founded by workers in 1901 was first renamed the German Cruising and Competitive Sailing Association and then dissolved. In 1934 the German Sailing Association DSB was liquidated, and since then the DSV has been the only German professional association in sailing.

Organization and activity

The association is a registered association based in Berlin . The office is located in Hamburg. The DSV associations have around 187,000 members, including around 30,000 children and young people. Organs of the association are the presidium, the sailing council and the sailing day.

On behalf of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure , the DSV organizes the entire official German recreational boat license system in the field of sailing with its examination committees , the coordination committee for the official recreational boat license for the lake and the central administrative office .

The two entrusted associations, the German Sailing Association (DSV) and the German Motor Yacht Association (DMYV), are responsible for the sport boat driving license inland and the sport boat driving license for the lake (coordination committee).

The members issue their own driving licenses (sports sailing license , youngest sailing license ). These were created after the association driving licenses A, BR, BK, C and R for sailing boats and yachts were replaced at the end of 2002 by the official driving licenses Sportküstenschifferschein , Sportseeschifferschein and Sporthochseeschifferschein . Sailing / surfing instructor licenses are still issued by the DSV after the exam has been taken.

In addition to the internationally valid racing rules (sailing), the German Sailing Association defines further national regulations for sailing regattas . Currently (as of 04/2019) these are the betting rules (WO), rankings (RO), performance pass regulations (LPO) and championship regulations (MO).

For regattas , the member clubs of the DSV provide referees and umpires .

The technical department issues an international boat license .

The association also deals with other topics such as environmental / nature protection , radio , model sailing and special forms of sailing such as ice or sand sailing .

In 1934 the model sailing department was founded.

Cruiser department

The DSV cruiser department is a specialist department of the German Sailing Association with 17,500 members (as of 2019) and the largest cruising sailing organization in Germany. The department traces its tradition back to the German Cruiser Yacht Association , an independent association for cruising sailors that was founded in Berlin in 1911 and joined the German Sailing Association in 1917. In 1998 there was a dispute about the direction of the cruiser department and the chairman and around 3,500 members left the department and founded the Kreuzer Yacht Club Germany .

To become a member of the cruiser department and to receive its service you either have to be a member of a local sailing club that is a member of the DSV, or you join the club of the cruiser department as a nationwide association of the cruiser department.
