World-Class Sailing

The Germany Sail Grand Prix is part of SailGP, the international sailing racing series, which is considered one of the most spectacular in the world. 13 national teams compete on identical F50 catamarans – high-performance boats that seem to hover above the water thanks to foiling technology and reach speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour. The Germany SailGP Team is also among the competitors.

Spectacle off the Chalk Cliffs

The races take place in the Baltic Sea off Sassnitz, with the white chalk cliffs of the island of Rügen providing a unique backdrop. The racing action can be easily followed from the promenade and the east mole. On land, the Race Stadium offers a festival atmosphere with family-friendly entertainment, interactive fan experiences, F50 simulators, and photo opportunities.

More Than Just a Race Day

The SailGP weekend is embedded in a multi-day program. In the run-up to the races, there are Team Base Tours where visitors can get a behind-the-scenes look at the teams. The actual races take place on two consecutive days and form the sporting highlight.

With the Germany Sail Grand Prix, the harbor town has established itself as the venue for a major international event.
