WORLD SAILING
Before the first race to be sailed by some 200 boats coming from five continents, 2015 F18 Worlds already are a big success, as the Class never gathered as many teams to enter the pinnacle event of the season. This breaking records attendance is a clear indication Formula 18 remains the most attractive catamaran class at the moment, mixing Olympian sailors, oceanic racers, rookies emerging from youth classes, as well faithful top club competitors. I am looking forward for Kieler Yacht-Club to provide our Class with a top quality event, merging proper and fair sailing to friendly sailor parties, and I would like to thank in advance all those involved in building up such an important organisation, with special mention to KYC volunteers and to German F18 Association Board. Further to this, I would like to sincerely thank all funding partners, from our proud class sponsors to the Lord Mayor of the City of Kiel, whose support makes this 16th F18 World Championship possible.
Welcome to Kiel Nearly 200 boots from more than 24 nations are starting this year at the F18 World Championship. It is the largest and most international fleet ever. The organisers have worked hard to create the necessary conditions on the water – even we could still not influence the weather - and onshore so that you feel comfortable in Kiel-Schilksee, can compete in fair competitions, and so you can focus on sailing and enjoying your passion. The Kieler Yacht-Club organisation team warmly welcome the international sailors as their hosts. Our thanks in particular go to the International Formula 18 Catamaran Association whose commitment and motivation has contributed to the successful organisation of this World Cup. In addition to the sailors, we of course welcome guests and visitors from all over the world, the media, and numerous attendants, coaches and all volunteers, whose dedication is a fundamental part of any Kieler Yacht-Club race.
Wishing you all the best,
Last but not least, we would like to thank the sponsoring partners whose long-standing commitment has allowed an event of this magnitude to take place, and also our other partner the City of Kiel and Strande. Visitors will experience the race live on the big screens tracking and daily highlight clips at the Kiel-Schilksee Olympic Centre, where they can watch in comfort in the warm and welcoming event area.
Sincerely,
Welcome to Kiel!

Dear sailors, Kieler Woche has just come to an end. But for the Sailing City Kiel, life goes on with barely a break: The coming seven days will be exciting in Schilksee, when the crews from the Formula 18 Catamaran hold their World Championship on the outer fjord. One could speak of Olympic dimensions - with 200 registrations from 24 nations. It is not just because we are able to welcome many former Olympic participants amongst the sailors on the fjord, but sportsmen with current Olympic ambitions will also be taking part in this World Championship. The City of Kiel is very pleased about this, in its role as applicant for the Olympic sailing competitions in 2024. The F18 class as the most successful catamaran class worldwide can be an example for us. Within just seven years of their introduction, they managed to develop to become a respectable size. Following a successful Olympic bid, the city will only have a similarly short time until the 2024 sailing competitions. The will to be part of the Olympic future connects us to these sailors involved in this World Championship who also have an Olympic goal. For even though the F18 class is not Olympic status, sailing here is of such a high standard that it can easily be compared to Olympia. And this way, the City of Kiel and the F18 class can show the world that they can both do Olympia. I wish all participants a fair competition and us all an exciting sailing event. Your Ulf K채mpfer Lord Mayor

New world record for Kiel Kieler Yacht-Club is heading for a new World Record. The Formula 18 World Championship (11-18 July 2015) had registered 194 entries from 24 countries at the end of April. The maximum available slots of 200 catamarans is close from being reached. This has already exceeded the previous record of 185 crews that participated at a previous World Cup in Kiel-Schilksee. The Formula 18 catamaran class is more active than ever for this edition of the F18 Worlds and will give an even bigger push for the future. “We would be very delighted if there are really going to be 200 teams at our Worlds. But it’s already clear that this will be a great event”, says the German chairman Jens Uwe Tonne. The cause of this strong growth can easily being explained from his point of view. “Germany itself has a large and active fleet with over 55 boats. But it’s also the ‘Call for Kiel’. The famous Kieler Woche is favorite among sailors worldwide and easily to reach by a big fleet of Scandinavian crews.” The massive interest and subscriptions straight after opening the entry portal shows the high ambitions of the class. Tonne:”Even without an Olympic status the Formula 18 class is at a very high level. It’s the nursery for future Olympic champions and also a playground for current Olympic catsailors.” The German entries alone make it a national ‘Battle of the Titans’ already. We can expect a battle between René Schwall (Olympic Tornado bronze medal in 2000), Justus Wolf (European Tornado Champion 1988), Eckart Kaphengst (Olympic Tornado participant 1984) and Helge and Christian Sach. The ‘Sach Brothers’ were the Tornado vice-world champions in 1994 and won the F18 Worlds
in 2006. “We expect a high ranking for the Sach brothers. After all, they know the Kiel area the best. But, also Jörg Gosche and Hannes Pegel have a good chance for a top position,” says Tonne, who would not tie up for a favorites role. The defending World Champion Gunnar Larsen from the Netherlands, the Australian and American teams will be favorite. It will be a highly interesting international event with participants from 24 nations. “The class is working very well. We are organized in 25 countries throughout the world, and almost all of them will join us in Kiel,” says Tonne. The secret of success of Formula 18 lies in the very high speed of the boats which continue to evolve. “The model of a class with a Box-Rule, which specifies only the crucial hull and sail specifications, works extremely well. We have seven or eight manufacturers and a constant evolution. So the wave-piercing hulls with a high lift are up to date with the latest designs. And the used sail rig and cloth used are extremely modern. Nevertheless, the price level is affordable for everyone. By having a minimum overall weight of 180 kg, the expensive hunt for lighter materials is prevented,” says the German chairman. Tonne expects the Formula 18 Worlds in Kiel will give the German class a further upswing, which has grown steadily in the last couple of years. But also internationally: “In Scandinavia for example. It is possible that the Formula 18 Worlds will be held somewhere in the North in about two years. But we can promise that you’ll see a spectacular footage from Kiel in July.” In the ashore program – participants, families and fans will be offered a lot. With the help of various partners, nati-
6
onal and international class associations no less than two sailors dinners are sponsored. The sailors will also have tracking during races so fans will be able to follow then at all times including daylie mages from the water. Of particular note is the sophisticated logistics concept that will be new in this class. Sailors can park their catamarans at a central location on the beach of Kiel-Schilksee with a short distance to the campsite, which will probably be fully booked for the World Cup. “As an organization we are in good contact with our colleagues of Strander Catamaran Sailors and have regular meetings with them,” reports Sven Christensen, CEO of Point Of Sailing. “The timing of the Formula 18 Worlds just before the start of the school holidays in Schleswig-Holstein has been chosen well. Only 2/3 of the beach will be used by the event, so there is plenty left for the regular visitors, divers and tourists. These Worlds will bring a lot of excitement and entertainment to the beach. All of this is possible thanks to great cooperation between the local community, the state capital Kiel, the Kiel marina, the German Formula 18 class association, the Strander catamaran clubs and the Kieler Yacht-Club.“ The race area is flexibly designed on an axis between the Strander Bay and Kiel Lighthouse, so fast ways to the sailing area are possible, and up to four races a day can be handled.

6.2.2.
6.2.3.
6.2.4.
6.2.5.
The event is split into fleets and will consist of a qualifying series and a final series. The number of fleets for a class will be announced until 2100 hrs. on the day before the first scheduled race. Qualifying Series Boats will be assigned to Yellow, Blue, Red or Green fleets of, as nearly as possible, equal size and ability. Initial assignments will be made by a seeding committee appointed by the Race Committee. Those assignments will be posted by 2100 hrs. on the day before the first scheduled race for each event. Boats will be reassigned to fleets after each day of racing, except if on the first day fewer than two races are completed by all fleets. If all fleets have completed the same number of races, boats will be reassigned on the basis of their ranks in the series. If all fleets have not completed the same number of races, the series scores for reassignment will be calculated for those races, numbered in order of completion, completed by all fleets. For four fleets, reassignments will be made as follows: Rank in series Fleet assignment: First Yellow, Second Blue, Third Red, Fourth Green, Fifth Green, Sixth Red, Seventh Blue, Eighth Yellow and so on ‌ If two or more boats have the same rank, they will be entered in the left column in the order of fleets in SI 6.2.1. Assignments will be based on the ranking available at 2100 hrs. that day, regardless of protests or requests for redress not yet decided. If all fleets have not completed the same number
6.3. 6.3.1. 6.3.2.
6.3.3.
of races by the end of a day, the fleets with fewer races will continue racing the following day until all fleets have completed the same number of races. All boats will thereafter race in the new fleets. Final Series: A final series will be scheduled for each class with 6 or more qualifying series races completed. Boats will be assigned to the Gold or Silver fleets on the basis of their ranks in the qualifying series. There will be the same number of fleets in the Final Series as there were in the Qualifying Series. Boats with the best qualifying-series ranks will race all final-series races in the Gold fleet and so on. Any recalculation of Qualifying Series ranking after boats have been assigned to Final Series will not affect the assignments except that a redress decision may promote a boat to a higher fleet.
