Team Gaebler's sailing year had a lot of sportive highlights. Great victories at the major championships and spectacular races. But some moments they will never forget. For many years, Team Gaebler's mission is to support kids and youngsters to learn and enjoy sailing with Multihulls. This year in China/Qingdao, they had the Extreme40s and the Tornados in one place to show Chinese kids what they can sail if they follow their talents.

Motivating young talents
In Qingdao, the two of the most exiting multihull sailing classes were together. The original Olympic Tornado from the Games 2008 and the double sized Extreme40 Multihulls. The Formula-1 of Olympic Sailing and Grand Prix Yachting on one place. The perfect location to show sailing the best way for girls and boys and to motivate the talents. Also Team Gaebler did some RC boat racing and games in the pool with the kids in front of the Olympic maritime museum. They went into the school to show the fascination of their sport with nice videos and photos. Thexy explained that each kid has a great talent to sail, race and win.

Dreaming to sail multihulls in future Olympics
Later on, the kids watched the Extreme Sailing Series with the ultrafast boats. Team Gaebler saw the shining eyes and smiling faces of the kids. After that, they went straight out sailing with hundreds of Optimist Dinghies to start training. After the experience with Team Gaebler, they have also the dream to sail multihulls in future Olympics. These kids and youngsters are also very open to mixed sailing and the love to fly with multihulls above the waves. They motivated them to follow their dreams and trust in their individual talents. Also they should learn to be a team player, respect nature and enjoy the technique of the boats.
