Strong star boot duo: Robert Stanjek and Frithjof Kleen

"We're still sailing happily together!" That was the recipe for success of Robert Stanjek and Frithjof Kleen at the 89th edition of the legendary Starboot classic Bacardi Cup. Before Miami, the German duo fought an exciting duel with the strong Italians Diego Negri and Sergio Lamberthini until the end of the popular series. The decision was not made until the final: Because the Olympic sixth from Berlin were able to win the last race, they also prevailed in the overall standings with one point ahead of the Italians. Third place in the prestigious regatt was secured by the American helmsman Augie Diaz with his Brazilian bowman Bruno Prada.

Although the star boat will no longer be Olympic as of the upcoming Olympic Games in Brazil, it continues to attract prominent and outstanding crews from all over the world. 70 teams from 15 countries fought for the Bacardi Cup in the Miami area. America's Cup sailor Paul Cayard and his bowman Brian Fatih had to be satisfied with fourth place. The five-time Olympic medalist and Volvo Ocean Race winner Torben Grael and Gilherme Almeide finished fifth after six races. The second best German team were Reinhard Schmidt and Uli Seeberger in twelfth. As the third best GER team, Dr. Hubert Merkelbach and Gerrit Bartel in 23rd place.

In 2012, Stanjek / Kleen were the youngest team in the fleet to sail off Weymouth in sixth place. A second grab for precious metal is no longer granted to them after the controversial deletion of the star boat from the Olympic program
