SUMMARY
Match Race Germany takes place along the promenade of Langenargen at Lake Constance in southern Germany. With its wonderful scenery and fantastic castle in the background, the promenade is an exceptional setting from which to watch the world’s best sailing teams in action.

Lake Constance is undoubtedly one of the most unique venues on the Swedish Match Tour. Soon after the Rhine River completes its descent from the Alps, it broadens and forms Lake Constance before continuing its 820-mile route to the North Sea. Measuring 40 miles in length and 8.5 miles in width, Lake Constance covers 220 square miles, making it central Europe’s second largest freshwater lake.

Lake Constance, which also is known as Bodensee, is bordered by three countries — Austria, Germany, and Switzerland — and there are views of all three from the lake. To the south rise the Swiss and Austrian Alps. To the north are the rolling hills of southern Germany.

In 2004 the event will feature a new class of boat, the Bavaria 35 Match. The organizers of match-race Germany have entered into a three-year agreement with Bavaria Yachts for their new design, a performance Racer/Cruiser.
