The NORDDEUTSCHER REGATTA VEREIN is Germany's largest sailing club. Since 1868, the club has been dedicated to yacht racing and to sailing. Today, 144 years later, Hanseatic confidence and pride in history combine into a unique blend within the NRV, representing and further enhancing its distinctive image. We maintain what is long proven, we preserve what has come to be cherished and we stimulate a spirit of sportsmanship.
The characteristic NRV spirit brings together both active and passive members. This spirit reconciles upholding traditions that sometimes embody engaging idiosyncrasies, and fortifies a many-faceted openness to the world – not least in a happy awareness of the favorable breeze that has prevailed through all these years.
