88. Warnemünder WocheThe diversity at the summer festival was well received.
In the 88. Warnemünder Woche From July 4th to 12th, the high-caliber sailing competitions and the diverse summer festival program complemented each other perfectly once again. Wind conditions, ranging from stormy to light, sometimes presented a challenge for the sailors. Nevertheless, the 774 participants from 14 nations successfully completed all the scheduled races. The land-based program was very well received, featuring the second Glashagen beach concerts, the 22nd "Smoke on the Water" music festival, tournaments in the Warnemünde Beach Arena, the 28th Dragon Boat Festival, and a daily cultural program with offerings from traditional to contemporary. The organizers, both on the water and on land, are drawing a thoroughly positive conclusion.

Wind surprise off Warnemünde: Exciting day on the water
The morning weather briefing for Saturday sounded rather pessimistic. Due to the high pressure system, the wind was expected to barely exceed seven knots from the north. Because of the rising temperatures, the race committee hoped for at least a sea breeze from developing thermals, but even that was considered rather unlikely. The temperature difference between land and sea was deemed too small to generate a sufficient current. But things would turn out differently.
