Roland Gäbler grew up in Bremen, where he started sailing on the river Weser. His talent for sailing was advanced by his parents, who bought him an old Laser. At the age of 14 he competed in his first regatta, one year later he won his first sailing competition. During his career in the Laser dinghy, Roland Gäbler won two European Championships and 14 international Championships.
With 23 years Roland Gäbler switched the racing class to catamaran and sailed a Tornado, together with his Laser training partner Hans-Jürgen Pfohe. Both competed in the Kiel Week[2] and qualified straightaway for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, however they won no medal. During the rough regatta Roland Gäbler suffered a fracture of his hand.
