History
Segelclub Walchensee e.V. (SCLW) was founded in 1965 and has its seat and home harbour in Walchensee. The club is a member of the German Sailing Federation, the Bavarian Sailing Federation and the Bavarian State Sports Association. From the beginning it has promoted sailing on sporty boats suited to the venue; home dinghy classes include Optimist, Laser/ILCA, 420 and 505, complemented by Dyas and Monas as well as modern classes such as International 14 and Musto Skiff. Over the decades the SCLW became a host of numerous ranking regattas and championships on wind-reliable Lake Walchensee, including International German Championships for the 505, ILCA Masters, German Opens of the International Moth and further class events. Club life centres on the club hut, berths, crane and a free club fleet for members. Today the club has nearly 200 active members from the Bavarian Oberland, the greater Munich area and also from Allgäu and the Inn valley, combining competitive sailing with camaraderie in a nature reserve.
