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.

Sailing on a Weekly Basis

The Stralsund Wednesday Regatta is a phenomenon: throughout the entire sailing season, from May to September, numerous sailboats meet every Wednesday for racing on the Strelasund. With around forty participating boats, it is one of the largest regular regattas in Germany.

The Triangular Course

Racing takes place on a triangular course between the Sundpromenade, the Rügen municipality of Altefähr, and the Rügenbrücke bridge. The start line is located in front of the north mole at Stralsund harbor. The wind and currents of the Sund make every race a new challenge.

  • around 20 races from May to September
  • Triangular course: Sundpromenade – Altefähr – Rügenbrücke
  • Start line in front of the north mole
  • Fleet of approximately 40 boats

Sport and Camaraderie

The regatta is organized by SSV Hansa Stralsund and a support association. It is not only a sporting competition but also a weekly meeting point for the Stralsund sailing scene. Those who wish to attend as spectators can even follow the events from the Weiße Flotte (White Fleet).

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.
