Biography
West German sailor Karsten Meyer participated in four Olympic Games, first appearing in 1960 when he replaced Eckart Wagner, who had become ill, for some races in the Star class. In 1964 Meyer finished sixth with Bruno Splieth at Enoshima Island on Sagami Bay. At Kiel in 1972 he then won a bronze medal with the famed German sailor Willi Kuhweide. A few weeks earlier the pair became World Champions. Finally, Meyer sailed on the Soling boat in 1976 with Kuhweide and Axel May, finishing sixth. This boat also claimed the West German national title that year.
