321 Zur Nordsee 2026

Zur Nordsee is part of the Nordseewoche, Germany's large offshore sailing regatta off Heligoland in the North Sea. The series is designed for a wide range of crews, from ambitious sailors entering demanding ORC races to families and less experienced teams using the Family Cruiser Cup as a more accessible entry into regatta sailing. The Family Cruiser Cup maintains the race atmosphere without requiring crews to face the full pressure of high-end competition. Boats do not need a measurement certificate, and crews can sail and win without using a spinnaker, which reduces the entry requirements for typical cruising teams. After racing, crews meet in the boot-Race-Village, making the event as much a shared sailing week on Heligoland as it is a series of offshore results.
