Located directly on the Baltic Sea, it offers reliable sea breezes, open water, and fair racing conditions that challenge both experienced professionals and ambitious amateur teams. Whether the wind is light or strong, the race area promises exciting and tactical competition worthy of a World Championship.
More Than Just a Regatta
What makes Warnemünde truly special is the combination of top level sailing and one of Germany’s largest sailing festivals. Every summer, Warnemünder Woche attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors and thousands of sailors from around the world.
