History
The sailing section is a subdivision of Airbus Helicopters Sportgemeinschaft Donauwörth e.V. and a member of the German Sailing Federation (DSV). Following the reorganisation of sailing districts, the club belongs to district 9, which covers all clubs along the Danube. The home sailing area is the jetty at the Danube barrage in Donauwörth, where club-owned and private boats are moored and club regattas and practice sessions take place. The section also keeps club boats on the Kleiner Brombachsee in Absberg (“Mücke”) and the Grosser Brombachsee in Ramsberg (“Neptun Aloisius”). Members are supported in obtaining boat licences in theory and practice; theory courses are held at the sports club’s clubhouse on Perchtoldsdorfer Strasse in Donauwörth’s Parkstadt. The programme includes flotilla sailing on inland waters such as Lake Constance, the Müritz and the Brombachsee as well as charter trips on the Baltic, Mediterranean and Atlantic. Besides sailing, the section maintains an active club life with meet-ups, work parties, summer festivals and attention to the interests of the youngest members. Membership is expressly open not only to company employees but to all water-sports enthusiasts.
