The Ocean Race 2023 Kiel Fly-By

Review: Sailing right on the Kiellinie

On Friday, June 9 2023, The Ocean Race, one of the toughest regattas around the globe, was in the Kiel Fjord for the Kiel Fly-By. The turning mark for The Ocean Race Kiel Fly-By was directly in front of the Kiellinie, so that spectators were able to experience the spectacular turn of the ocean racers live and up close. The entire regatta ended on July 1 in Genova.
