Logan Dunning Beck and Oscar Gunn have won their first big international regatta together, taking out the 49er class at Kiel Week in Germany.

The pair, who have been sailing together for the last two years, picked up World Cup Series silver medals in Hyeres and Enoshima in 2018 and they also led at last year’s sailing world championships in Aarhus for a handful of days before eventually finishing seventh.

Their second in Kiel’s medal race was enough for them to finish ahead of Poland’s Lukasz Przybytek and Pawel Kolodzinski, with James Peters and Fynn Sterritt of Great Britain third.

Kiel Week is one of the world’s biggest regattas, featuring myriad classes, and over the nine days 4,000 sailors from 60 nations competed in more than 1,900 boats. The 49er fleet for the 125th edition of the regatta was particularly strong, making for very competitive racing.
