The assembly was subsequently pleased that, within a very short time, an international referee, Philip Schmolling from Berlin, had been found for the Regattas department, and he declared his willingness to succeed Gerhard Meyboden. After a humorous application speech, the assembly unanimously elected him as an assessor for the Regatta Jury, with his own abstention. Bernd Nennhaus was also unanimously (re-)elected to his position as Deputy Chairman & Competitive Sports, as was Cornelius Grajecki for the new position of Deputy Chairman & Regattas. A generational change took place in the area of auditors. After more than 20 years of service, Kai Simon retired from his position, and the assembly elected Birte Senska, the former chairwoman of the Hamburg Rowing Youth, as his successor. Alongside the re-elected Peter Voss, she will oversee the correctness and regularity of the association’s accounting and annual financial statements. Treasurer Guido Schaudin thanked Kai Simon for the trusting cooperation and the many helpful tips regarding the association’s accounting.

In addition to various squad reviews, three major regattas are again on the program in Allermöhe in 2023: the International Junior Regatta, the North German Championships, and the Baltic Cup / City Comparison. Trixi Freitag, the responsible regatta volunteer supervisor, campaigned for many voluntary helpers. The assembly also discussed the current problems with the property tax reform and the introduction of SAMS.
