Sylter Catamaran Club (SCC) e.V.
The Sylter Catamaran Club (SCC) e.V. is a registered sailing club in Hörnum on Sylt with a clubhouse directly on the Wadden Sea in the waters between the islands of Sylt, Amrum and Föhr. The club organises the annual Cat Festival Sylt with the Super Sail Sylt regatta and the traditional long-distance race "60 Seemeilen vor Sylt", which has been sailed since the 1980s and challenges sailors in the Wadden Sea amid sandbanks. Visitors can relax at the clubhouse and enjoy the sailing area; in summer it is open daily from around 11:00, with hours subject to change depending on the weather. Through the SCC sailing school, interested parties can learn to sail and rent boats, with catamaran courses held directly at the clubhouse. The club also offers boat inspections in cooperation with bootspruefung.de and organises training trips and regatta training as part of the Cat Festival.
History
The regatta "60 Seemeilen vor Sylt" has been sailed since the 1980s and is considered a long-distance race with tradition in the Sylter Catamaran Club's waters. The ideal course runs from Hörnum's east beach around the southern tip to the west side as far as a mark west of List and back to Hörnum's east beach; if wind or sea conditions do not permit, an alternative medium-distance course is set between Sylt, Amrum and Föhr, with up to two races per day. The SCC holds the annual Cat Festival Sylt in Hörnum and invites sailors for a summer holiday in the "Caribbean of the North". Regular events include Super Sail Sylt as the annual regatta in the Wadden Sea, testing skill and equipment, as well as the German Hobie Cat 16 Championship. As part of the 60 Seemeilen, the club organises tours for members and guests, such as a circumnavigation of the island of Amrum. Sylter Catamaran Club e.V. is registered at Amtsgericht Flensburg under VR 325 and operates a clubhouse with a terrace overlooking the Wadden Sea, from which spectators can also follow regattas.
