A Long-Distance Regatta on the Schlei
The Schlei is a special case among German waters: a long, narrow arm of the Baltic Sea fjord that stretches from Schleimünde to Schleswig and, with its bays, islands, and shallows, is one of Northern Germany's most challenging inland waters. Precisely these conditions make the Blaues Band der Schlei a special challenge — a mix of tactics, local knowledge, and endurance, where the weather also has to cooperate.
Schlei-Segel-Club e.V. as Organizer
The Schlei-Segel-Club, based in Schleswig, is one of the most traditional clubs in the Schleswig-Holstein Sailing Association. The club organizes the regatta annually and publishes the date on its club website as well as in the official regatta calendar of the Sailing Association. Members and guest sailors from the entire region are welcome.
Competition Format
The long-distance regatta is sailed in several boat classes simultaneously — typically dinghies and yachts of various sizes, scored according to the Yardstick rating. The course runs over several turning points on the Schlei and ends back at the pier of the Schlei-Segel-Club. The award ceremony with the presentation of the «Blaues Band» takes place in the clubhouse.
Schleswig — The Town on the Schlei
Schleswig is the district capital of the Schleswig-Flensburg district and looks back on over a thousand years of harbor history — from the Viking settlement of Haithabu to today's yacht harbor at Stadtfeld. Those who want to watch the regatta have the best view from the harbor front, Möweninsel, and the Schlei bridge.
Blaues Band Schlei — edition 2026
On the last weekend of September, sailors will gather on the Schlei for the traditional Blaues Band. With late summer conditions — mostly moderate winds between Schleswig harbor and Mittelschlei — starts will take place in several classes. Race management is handled by the Schlei-Segel-Club.
