Promoting young sailing talent: SkenData supports talented sailor Klaas Naumann
Rostock, 25.02.2025 – SkenData is once again sending out a strong signal for its own values: precision, sustainability and the promotion of passion and motivation. From 2025, the innovative company will be supporting the talented young sailor Klaas Naumann, German U16 2024 champion in the ILCA 4 boat class, thereby supplementing its commitment to sailing and its initiative to promote young talent.
After 15 planned regattas and impressive successes in 2024 — including the International German Championship and the Warnemünder Woche — Klaas Naumann stands for passion, perseverance and determination. His enthusiasm for water sports, which began at the age of 5 with windsurfing, reached new heights in 2019 when he devoted himself intensively to regatta sailing and was inspired by the legendary ocean yacht “Illbruck”.
“SkenData has a special significance for me. The combination of precision, innovation and the passion for sailing fits in perfectly with my goals. I am delighted to be able to use this partnership as
launchpad for my further development,” says Klaas Naumann.
Our mission: promoting talent – living values
At SkenData, promoting young talent in sailing means more than just support – it is a commitment to responsibility. Whether on the water, in sport or at university, the company creates prospects for young people who are prepared to overcome boundaries.
But that is only part of the story: back in 2024, SkenData demonstrated how important it is to the company to promote education and support university and voluntary work by awarding Germany Scholarships. The combination of sport and science creates an inspiring space for growth in which young talents can make their way.
“We believe that real innovation comes from people who are passionate about their goals. Whether they are fighting for millimeters on the water or developing solutions for the challenges of the future in the lecture hall – we want to give them the support they deserve,” explains Galya Ihle,
Managing Director of SkenData.
Sailing as a symbol of SkenData’s values
The collaboration with Klaas Naumann complements the existing cooperation with the legendary ocean yacht “Illbruck” and the speedsailing team. The focus is not only on sporting success, but above all on the values that make sailing so unique: precision, teamwork, passion and sustainability.
“Sailing is more than a sport for us – it is a reflection of what we stand for at SkenData. By supporting Klaas and our other sponsorship projects, we not only want to inspire, but also actively contribute to a better future,” says Sven Jantzen, CEO of SkenData.
