Fully sporty enthusiasm remind particularly we Kieler us in accordance with the expanded Baltic Sea Regatta, with which the large racing cruisers "meteor", "Germania", "Hamburg", "north star" etc. in the Vorkriegahren their sail-sporty most achievements with one another to - discharge brought, and even that, which did not have the luck and the Honour, the large Racing travels directly attend to be able, was nevertheless fully proud joy, if he saw, how these magnificent "sea-eagles in schneidi.en sail maneuvers pulled their wake by the Kieler Foerde.  Not insignificant successes, which verniochten to achieve our Vorkriegssegler with the internationolen Regatta in Cowes (England) against sharp English and American competition, to achieve it was able, shows that the development of the domestic building of large racing yachts on the correct way, promoted to few Jabren before the war, was. The most successful German racing cruisers were lost with outbreak of the war in stranger of hands, and at replacement is to think in consideration of very high new building and maintenance costs, provisionally not.  Unfortunately thereby the possibility, which acquired itself before the war in the building of large racing yachts won experiences, in order particularly the max of Oertz a outstanding name to use for the German large sail sport also hardly, exists. The more is to be welcomed it.  that it succeeded the Germania shipyard, those in co-operation with Oertz the building of racing yachts particularly maintained at the Kriega two large sailing schooners "Cressida" (fig. 1) and "Etak" (fig. 2), to receive for American calculation for the execution in order over by it. Opportunity to have, their in the building of the last emperor yachts the "meteor" class and the "Germania" for Mr. Krupp von Bohlen gasammelten experiences again to refurbish and extend. "Cressida" was brought in December 1927 and "Etak" in April 1930 to the delivery. Both put in the meantime, under partially very rough sea-conditions longer ocean and cruises back and by their than excellently proven lake and sail characteristics of the German work on this special area of the building of yachts on new validity and full acknowledgment abroad provided.
