← 1980 1982 →

During Race 6 a team member of Z 232 team Heiki Blok felt overboard and was pickup and returned to his team mates by G 212 team Fritz Geis at that time leader in the event. This very sportive action of G 212 was rewarded by the International jury , after the final race, by reducing his finished position by 5 places. In the final race the both leaders G 212 and OE 73 team Michael Farthofer went over the starting line too early and were disqualified. Team Jörg Hermann DDR 5 then needed a 2nd place to win the event. They however finished 4th and 2nd in the overall ranking.

Due to difficult race conditions the Dragør Sejlklub race committee needed to use the gate start procedure and the black flag rule many times during this event. The committee finally was able to produce five great races. Two races could not take place. As result there was no discard.

This was the first major Soling event where ALL crew members were documented. The role of each crew member became more and more respected! In 1968 and beyond boat names and sail numbers were the top priority of the International Soling Association because that give a good insight of the growth of the class. The organization was more or less an organization of boat owners. This changed during the 80's into an organization for Soling Sailors!
