EnglishWhat News and Race Reports Are Published on Shark24.org?
Updated
Shark24.org publishes four main types of posts: championship race reports, event announcements, class community news (including memorials), and archived historical articles that can be browsed by date and pagination. The site is the home of the Shark24 Class Organisation, so the content is written for class members and followers of the Shark 24 one-design fleet rather than for general sailing news readers.
Championship Race Reports
The largest share of posts are regatta reports covering world, European, and World Cup-level competition. They typically combine results with a short narrative of conditions and venue.
| Report | Venue | What the post covers |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 Shark 24 European Championship | Röbel, Lake Müritz | Three days of racing, wind and wave conditions, crews from across Europe and South Africa |
| 2026 Shark 24 World Championship | Belleville, Ontario | Venue character, a historic anniversary, and on-water duels |
| 2025 Shark24 Worlds | Segelclub Altmünster, Lake Traunsee | Christian Binder crowned triple world champion; farewell to sailing legend Felsecker |
| 2023 Shark24 World Championship | Niagara-on-the-Lake | The 56th Shark World Championship, sailors from Austria and elsewhere |
| 2022 Shark24 World Cup | — | Winning crew of Hailheels (AUT1449): Christian Binder, Thomas Czajka, Stefan Watamaniuk |
Reports name the winning crews and boats, which makes them useful if you want to track results by sailor or hull rather than just read a summary.
Event Announcements
Separate "Events" entries give advance notice of championships, including dates and host clubs. Examples include the 2026 Shark24 World Championship and the 2023 Shark24 World Championship at Niagara-on-the-Lake Sailing Club, listed as running from August 18th. These posts are shorter than reports and serve as scheduling notices for crews planning to attend or follow.
Class Community News
The site also publishes member news, most notably memorial posts under the "Eight Bells" heading. These include:
- Cameron Smith — described as a passionate champion of sailing throughout his life and a true inspiration to the fleet.
- John Clark — who passed away in January 2024 at his home in Kingston.
- Bodo "Mister Shark" Günther — remembered in a message to "Shark friends."
These posts reflect the class's community character and are worth reading if you want context on the people behind the fleet.
Archive and Browsing
Posts are dated and paginated, with a "Posts pagination 1 2 >" control at the bottom of the listing. Entries carry both a publication date and a modified date, and older items go back at least to 2022 in the visible listing. To find a specific year's worlds or a past crew result, work backward through the pagination rather than expecting a searchable results database.
If your goal is current results, start with the most recent championship report; if you are planning to compete, check the Events entries for dates and host clubs first.
