1. Segelclub Partwitzer See e.V.
The 1. Segelclub Partwitzer See e.V. is a family-oriented sailing club on Lake Partwitz in the Lusatian Lake District in Saxony. The club is based in Elsterheide/OT Klein Partwitz and sails on the roughly 1,100-hectare lake with ideal conditions for sailors and water sports enthusiasts. The club grounds at Hohe Düne 1 offer harbour facilities, berths and a live webcam with current lake conditions. The programme includes active youth work, sailing courses, regular regattas and club trips as well as performance training camps for Optimist and 420. The club hosts events such as the International German Championship in the Ixylon class and looks back on more than 60 years of sailing and racing tradition since the 2014 merger.
History
Due to remediation works at Lake Knappen, sailing was no longer possible there. The 1. Segelclub Knappensee e.V. and the Oberlausitzer Segelclub e.V. Neukirch therefore decided to join forces. The club formed by the merger at Lake Partwitz draws on a 60-year tradition in sailing and racing and has been named 1. Segelclub Partwitzer See e.V. since 1 January 2014. Lake Partwitz has been usable for water sports for about ten years and offers ideal conditions with around 1,100 hectares of water. It lies in the Lusatian Lake District, Europe’s largest contiguous artificial lake area created by flooding reclaimed lignite open-cast mines. The club is a member of the Saxony State Sports Federation, the Bautzen District Sports Federation and the Saxony Sailing Association and receives funding from the Free State of Saxony for infrastructure. Sportingly the club is active in Optimist, 420, Europe and Ixylon and hosts major events such as the International German Championship Ixylon, the EurOpti Cup and the IDM Europe.
