History
The Norddeutscher Regatta Verein was established in 1868. Since that year it has taken part in many international yacht racing competitions.
In 2003 Norddeutscher Regatta Verein initiated a transatlantic regatta known as DaimlerChrysler North Atlantic Challenge (DCNAC) together with the New York Yacht Club. This event was staged to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Hamburgischen Verein Seefahrt (HVS). In 2007 Norddeutscher Regatta Verein organized another transatlantic regatta, the HSH Nordbank blue race from Newport, Rhode Island to Cuxhaven.
This yacht club is one of the main members of the International Council of Yacht Clubs, which was established in 2006. With over 1918 members in 2007, the Norddeutscher Regatta Verein is the largest sailing club in Germany.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history becomes subjective; in other words there is properly no history, only biography.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Indeed, the Englishman’s history of New England commences only when it ceases to be New France.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
