Races on Saturday

Fascinating sail pictures and enthralling races on the high seas – the Hanse Sail also offer this to its numerous visitors. Thereby the races on Saturday are a special highlight where the sailors sail in four different boat classes for the coveted trophy.

The ships sail under highest strain cheek by jowl because everyone wants to achieve the victory.

Above all the longboats of the class A – the so-called king discipline – offer exciting racing duels. 2011 the frigate SHTANDART won this race. But also the further classes – the yachts, single-masted sailing boats and schooner – fascinate the visitors with their races.
