Segelclub Undine
Segelclub Undine is an independent sailing club linked to Offenbach am Main, with grounds right next to the Carl-Ulrich Bridge on the northern bank of the River Main and thus on Frankfurt territory. Beside the clubhouse there are four jetties with water berths as well as numerous land berths; sailing mainly takes place on the Main stretch up to the Kaiserlei Bridge, where regattas are also held. The club year includes boat christening usually on the last Saturday in April, the Offenbach city championship alternating with the sailing section of the Offenbach rowing club, the MaaCup regatta in early September and the season closing sail in early October. Members, friends and acquaintances are invited to join-sail events, and the year ends with the club honour evening in November, when the club champion is celebrated. The club was founded as an independent association in 1969 after previously being a section of the Offenbacher Rudergesellschaft Undine (ORU).
History
Segelclub Undine was founded as an independent association in 1969 after previously being a section of the Offenbacher Rudergesellschaft Undine (ORU). The club grounds lie directly beside the Carl-Ulrich Bridge on the northern side of the Main and thus on Frankfurt territory, while the club itself is associated with Offenbach am Main. Beside the clubhouse, four jetties with water berths and several land berths were established; a crane and a dinghy jetty belong to the site. Sailing usually takes place on the Main stretch up to the Kaiserlei Bridge, where regattas are also held. The first event each year is boat christening, usually on the last Saturday in April. Alternating with the sailing section of the Offenbach rowing club, the Offenbach city championship is held before the summer holidays. In early September the club's MaaCup regatta takes place; the last sailing event is the season closing sail in early October. The year concludes with the club honour evening in November, when the club champion is honoured. The club website also organises join-sail actions for members, friends and acquaintances, for example over the Corpus Christi weekend.
