Edition 2025 — Rum Regatta Kappeln
The 2025 Rum Regatta took place on the Ascension Day weekend — with the traditional Herring Regatta from Kappeln to Sønderborg, the Flensburger Förde Regatta, and the actual Rum Regatta on the fjord. The organiser was Museumshafen Flensburg e.V.; winners of each leg received their bottle of rum.
The 2025 edition continued the proven format: four days of traditional sailing in the western Baltic Sea with legs from Kappeln → Sønderborg → Flensburg. The Herring Regatta opened the competition, the Flensburger Förde Regatta connected Denmark and Flensburg, and the finale was the Rum Regatta on the Flensburg Fjord.
As always, the atmosphere in the harbours was the main asset of the event: free access for the public, harbour concerts, ship viewings, and the opportunity to talk with crews from all over Northern Europe. The Skipper Party on Saturday evening in the Flensburg Maritime Museum Harbour is considered a social highlight of the Northern European traditional sailing scene.
