Today's Flensburger Segel-Club e. V. ( FSC ) was founded on May 17, 1890 as the Flensburg Sailing Club in the Bahnhofshotel (today: Europahaus am ZOB ) in Flensburg . At the founding meeting, 12 founding fathers elected the ship owner and city councilor Heinrich Schuldt as the first chairman of the FSC.
Revier and Stander
The immediate area of the FSC is the Flensburg inner and outer fjord . In the early years of the club, sailing was mainly on the inner fjord. But if you wanted to sail on the outer fjord, you had to cross the customs border , which at that time ran from Holnis Drei in fishing through the Flensburg fjord to Brunsnis in Sundewitt ( Broager ). The customs office on the Holnis peninsula monitored incoming and outgoing shipping and was open from sunrise to sunset. For customs clearance , all ships - including sports yachts - had to anchor near the office and wait for the customs officers to row out. Yachts that had a club member on board and displayed a club flag were exempt from this time-consuming procedure. In order to enable their club members to “free pass” through the customs office, the general assembly of the FSC on June 6, 1897 decided to introduce a triangular, light blue club stand with a standing white cross and to show it for the first time on all boats at the regatta on July 11, 1897. The "free passage" could only be realized from 1901 after a successful application to the Prussian Ministry of Finance, which the first commodore of the FSC, Duke Friedrich Ferdinand (Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg) had made a significant contribution.
Boat harbor
Flensburg
The FSC was originally a Flensburg club and in the first decade of its existence the boats were lying on bridges and piles in front of the ballast bridge in the port of Flensburg without a dedicated space . In 1901 the FSC received a land and water area as requested on the north side of the hook at Vith north of the brickworks bridge in the harbor. In 1922, the decision was made to build a clubhouse of its own, financed through the levy, and inaugurated in 1924. In 1945 it was badly damaged in an explosion of the old naval ammunition dump, but it was rebuilt and could be used again as a clubhouse after the emergency quarters were terminated in 1949.
Glücksburg
In 1934, the city of Flensburg began building a boat harbor in Quellental as part of emergency work, of which a memorial stone in the harbor commemorates. In 1935 the first section of the port was inaugurated with an 80 meter longitudinal bridge. In 1937, the completed boat harbor comprised a 220-meter-long longitudinal bridge, an 80-meter-long transverse bridge with swell boards, a flagpole and an inner cross bridge. In 1939 the unpreserved mooring piles had to be replaced by oak trunks due to drilling worms. Floods and ice damage damaged the port facilities, which had to be replaced twice by 1941. The port in Glücksburg was originally intended as a protective port, but in the 1950s it developed more and more into the actual sailing port. In the port of Flensburg, the yachts could no longer safely lie on their mooring buoys due to the constant swell . In autumn 1956, the Glücksburg marina was almost completely destroyed by a severe NNE storm, but it was rebuilt. The city of Flensburg terminated the lease agreement for the club facilities on Ballastkai in the Flensburg harbor in order to expand it, and so the Flensburg sailing club bought the Quellenental (Glücksburg) marina in 1960 and a 15,000 m² site next to the Hanseatic Yacht School , on which a boat shed in 1961 and in 1965/1966 a new clubhouse was built. In 1980 the clubhouse was expanded by adding a modern sanitary building with shower, wash and regatta rooms. In 1988 it was rebuilt again and as a result the office moved to Glücksburg. In 2010 the last step for the time being was the complete renovation, modernization and expansion of the clubhouse. In 2016, between the end of April and October, the boat halls were demolished and rebuilt on the club grounds.

The FSC also started in the German Sailing League Cup (DSL Cup for short), which was launched in 2017 as a parallel event to the two national leagues and as a qualification for the second division. In the founding year 2017 and 2019, the FSC provided a junior team in addition to the senior team.

One-tone cup
The One-Ton-Cup (OTC) was the major sailing event in 1978 and the highlight of the FSC's racing history to date. 36 yachts came to Glücksburg from four continents for the OTC. The winner was the yacht Tilsalg from the FSC with the skipper and FSC member Klaus Lange.
Cruising sailing
A considerable number of yachts under the stand of the FSC have visited wide destinations west of the Jutland peninsula, either to take part in large regattas in other countries and other continents or as actual, purpose-free sailing in foreign areas.
Youth department
On February 20, 1909, pupils from the two Flensburg high schools founded the Flensburg Model Sailing Club (FMSC), which was completely independent of the FSC. The area for the races with model yachts were the bay of Sandacker and the Munkmühlenbucht near Randershof. In 1921 he was accepted into the FSC under the name "Youth Department: Flensburg Model Sailing Club". Since 1954 the youth department has been independent with its own statutes and board. Today around 150 young people form the youth department, who are supported in their training by a full-time trainer and a community service worker .
