The Munich Yacht Club feels like a Bavarian champion.
Finally, he finished the Bundesliga season in eighth place, making it the best boat from the Free State.
Starnberg / Tutzing
- It is due to the tribal awareness of the Bavarians that they always rate a German championship as an internal list of the best.
So Micki Liebl, who likes to present himself in the Krachledernen at festivities, couldn't help but claim the eighth place of his team in the overall classification of the sailing Bundesliga as an unofficial Bavarian title win.
“It's going down well,” said the team manager of the Munich Yacht Club, happy to say the least.
"Because our concept is so good, that's why we are the best club in Bavaria."

It cannot be because of the money that the MYC left the cheap competition from Lake Starnberg and Lake Chiemsee behind for the second time in a row. The people of Munich are not poor like the church mice, but the money is not so loose that the club could shower its Bundesliga team with great salaries. Instead, the association relies on the creativity of its members and on the in-house Sailing Academy.
The four sailors who made waves on the Wannsee in Berlin without hurricane support also passed through the club's breeding and training facility. Manuel Wunderle, Sebastian Frenzer, Julius Neszvecsko and Jannik Pöhlmann added a third place to their numerous successes. Liebl is now finally convinced that the concept that his club has been pursuing for some time is finally paying off after difficult years: "We are on the right track." not just for two match days, but for the whole season. “It would be worth considering”, admits the team boss, “but it doesn't fit into our philosophy”.
After all, they not only look after a crew on Possenhofener Strasse, but also a total of three teams and a promising junior team.
Granting a team special privileges would mean scaring off the other three at the same time.
"We want to counteract the drop-out of young sailors," said Liebl.
"It depends on the fact that after their time in the youth classes they can continue to sail at a high level in our club." And so it has no consequence that Wunderle and Co. in Berlin are "close to perfection", as the team manager raved.
Sailing Bundesliga: German Touring Yacht Club creates the miracle of Wannsee
While the young and wild from the Munich Yacht Club approached their task with all due fun, Julian Stückl achieved nothing less than the miracle of the Wannsee. In an absolutely hopeless situation, the skipper of the German Touring Yacht Club found the courage to load all responsibility for his club onto his young shoulders - and was rewarded for it. “Herculean task solved”, the 27-year-old could rightly claim after finishing seventh in reference to the ancient demigod.
Stückl felt the pressure that relegation would have meant for the two-time German champion and Champions League winner. But somehow he still felt a real obligation as one of the very few veterans of this era. And so in the past three and a half months, with the backing of the club superiors, he set about putting together a team that was able to meet the challenge of staying up. In Berlin he was supported by Ann-Christin Goliaß, Jakob Achterberg and Theresa Löffler. “It was very, very difficult,” he admitted. There were many obstacles to overcome.
But Stückl mastered all the tasks.
Even when the storm disrupted the regatta plan, it did not allow itself to be confused.
“Every race counts.” He knew that he couldn't afford to slip up in a limited number of races.
And that's how he sailed: completely responsible for his club.
Sailing Bundesliga: Bavarian Yacht Club in Berlin only last
The crew of the Bavarian Yacht Club would have liked to have wished for this awareness.
But the team around Felix Kaiser, Philip Hall, Nic Corsi and Fabian Eisenlohr showed little of the enormous potential it actually has, and came last in Berlin and tenth after the season ended.
The celebration is therefore not on the Starnberg Nepomukweg, but on the opposite bank, where the new "Bavarian Master" is at home.
