Wednesday Regatta

About Wednesday Regatta

The Stralsund Wednesday Regatta is one of Germany's largest regular regattas. From May to September, a large fleet of sailboats meets every Wednesday on the Strelasund off the Hanseatic city of Stralsund. The triangular course between the Sundpromenade, Altefähr, and the Rügenbrücke bridge challenges the crews anew each week. Against the backdrop of the World Heritage old town, the regatta combines sporting competition with the maritime conviviality of the Hanseatic city – a piece of living sailing culture in Vorpommern.

Stralsund on the Strelasund

The UNESCO World Heritage Hanseatic city of Stralsund in the Vorpommern-Rügen district is closely linked to sailing. The Wednesday Regatta makes this maritime identity visible week after week and is a familiar sight of the Stralsund summer.
