"Gorch Fock" under full sail
The training ship "Gorch Fock" led the Windjammer Parade at Kiel Week 2025 under full sail for the first time – in almost perfect conditions. The barque was sailing at 6.5 knots, which is about 12 kilometers per hour. Due to the fresh wind and fully set sails, the Gorch Fock sped ahead of the other ships. The Alexander von Humboldt 2 quickly had to take over the lead of the fleet and guide the formation.

"Gorch Fock" unter vollen Segeln
Das Segelschulschiff "Gorch Fock" hat die Windjammerparade zur Kieler Woche 2025 erstmals unter vollen Segeln angeführt - unter nahezu perfekten Bedingungen. Die Bark war mit 6,5 Knoten unterwegs, das entspricht etwa 12 Kilometern pro Stunde. Wegen des frischen Windes und der vollgesetzten Segel flitzte die Gorch Fock den anderen Schiffen davon. Zügig musste die Alexander von Humboldt 2 die Führung des Feldes übernehmen und die Formation anführen.
