SSL City Grand Slam 2016 Hamburg
May 3rd – 7th, Hamburg GER
70 ENTRIES LIMIT REACHED IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS
Star Sailors League, Norddeutscher Regatta Verein and hosting Starfleet HF/Lub were expecting huge interest from competitors for the first SSL City Grand Slam in May 2016 on Lake Alster, Hamburg, but never expected to achieve the limit set to 70 boats in less than 24 hours.
The official registration opened on Thursday January 14th at 2pm on http://city.starsailors.com/ and by Friday at noon 71 keelboat lovers were already signed up. With 14 countries represented, including World Champions and Olympic medalists, the organizers may extend the limit and Star sailors should still apply for entry.
In the meantime, a waiting list was opened: you can write an email to info@starsailors.com with skipper name, boat name and sailing number, nationality and if you have a crew please add their name too.
20 VIPs, yet to be finalized, will be taking part and every team will have a shot at the prize purse of US$100,000 and up to 3,000 points valid for the SSL Ranking.
Norddeutscher Regatta Verein announced that the first SSL City Grand Slam will be under the patronage of Hamburg's First Major Olaf Scholz.
You will be able to watch all the action live with expert commentary from special studio guests. On the water, the latest in hi-tech camera technology, as well as Virtual Eye 3D Graphics, will provide thrilling viewing. Armchair sailors can also join the race with Virtual Regatta.

STAR SAILORS LEAGUE (SSL)
From the initiative of some of the world's best sailors, the Star Sailors League (SSL), launched an international circuit of regattas in January 2013. This new league has been built on the existing circuit of over 220 International Star regattas around the world, using a unified world ranking, created based on
the ATP World Tour ™, established by tennis players in 1972. Drawing on this inspiration from tennis, the SSL also awards substantial prize money to the best-ranked sailors. In December 2015, the third edition of the SSL Finals took place in Nassau, Bahamas.
By 2020, the objective of the SSL is to organize four Grand Slams and the SSL Finals every year. The annual SSL Finals is exclusive to the top athletes and the Grand Slams will offer fierce competition. In order to create a world ranking representative of the skills of each athlete and to balance the odds for each one of them, the Grand Slams will take place at venues known for different conditions:
• "SSL LAKE GS" organized on a lake
• "SSL BAY GS" organized in a sea bay
• "SSL CITY GS" organized in an urban environment
• "SSL BREEZE GS" organized on a windy area
In September 2015, the SSL organized the first Lake Grand Slam, on lake Neuchâtel in Switzerland, hosted by the Cercle de Voile de Grandson, and in May 2016 the first City Grand Slam will be held in Hamburg Germany, by Norddeutscher Regatta Verein and Hamburger and Luebeck Bay Steamboat fleets.
