Yachtclub Dettingen e.V.
Yachtclub Dettingen e.V. (YCDe) is a sailing club based in the Constance district of Wallhausen on Lake Überlingen. Members use the clubhouse, dinghy storage with dry berths, winter storage in front of the clubhouse and a joint crane operation for launching and hauling out. The youth section trains from April to October every Thursday at 5 p.m. and sails Optimists, ILCA/Laser, 420s and the club J/70; active members can also charter the J/70 and the Inferno 29. Besides youth training and regattas such as Club Cup and club championships, work parties, the opening sail and a joint sailing camp with neighbouring clubs shape club life. Founded in 1975 and with about 150 members, the club combines racing, dinghy and cruising sailing with active youth development on Lake Constance.
History
Yachtclub Dettingen e.V. (YCDe for short) was founded in 1975 and has its home harbour in the Constance district of Wallhausen, where the clubhouse also stands. Today the club has about 150 members: active racing sailors, dinghy and catamaran sailors, cruising sailors, modern classics sailors as well as supporting members and an active youth section. The youth sailors have a small fleet of club-owned boats – including Optimists, Lasers and 420s as well as a J/70 – with which children, teenagers and young adults learn to sail and take part in regattas. Club offers include boat charter in Wallhausen, dinghy storage, winter berths, summer storage for boat trailers and the joint crane operation in spring and autumn. At the 50th anniversary celebration a jubilee party was held in the harbour and clubhouse; guests of honour from the Baden Sports Federation and the Lake Constance Sailing Association attended, and new youth boats were christened in the harbour. In the following years regular crane operations, work parties, Club Cup and club championships as well as social events shaped club life. In 2022 the club hosted the Weekendrace on Lake Überlingen, held its first overnight club cruise and celebrated a summer festival in the clubhouse garden again after the coronavirus pause. Today Wallhausen on Lake Überlingen remains the central place for training, regattas and communal events of the YCDe.
