At the beginning of Kieler Woche and for the switch over to Olympic boat classes in the middle of the week, the Kieler Woche check in for sailors participationg in the races takes place in the lounge. All sailors receive their special equipment for Kieler Woche, like the coloured sponsoring labels to be attached to the boat hull, indicating by colour code the regatta course the boat is assigned to, and the GPS race trackers, which deliver the race data to graphically display on screen the position of the boats during the races for the spectators on shore.
As sailing is also developing into an e-sport, the Gaming Corner of the boot.club Lounge offers sailors as well as visitors to take part in the official Kieler Woche online races. At least virtually, everbody can become part of Kieler Woche racing!
