FYI Trivia:  The world’s largest sailing event is Kiel Week, expecting millions of visitors at the world’s unique sport and entertainment event in northern Germany. What once began on 23 July 1882 as a competition between naval officers and merchants with 20 yachts is now regarded as the “mother of all regattas” with 2,000 ships, yachts and boats and around 4,500 sailors. Held annually in June. 
 Windjammers are tall sailing ships that put to sea as freighters in the 19th century. The name derives from the English phrase “to jam the wind”, meaning to sail against the wind.
