The MidsummerSail starts at the southernmost point of the Baltic Sea that can be reached by sailing, in the Wismar Bay, and ends at the famous yellow Törehamn buoy, the northernmost buoy of the Baltic Sea.[1]
In 2016 it was held for the first time with only one participating yacht. In 2023 there were 63 yachts. The start takes place in front of Wismar on the longest day of the year in June of each year.
Background
editThe aim of the participants in the race is to complete the 900 nautical miles under the time that the inventor of the MidsummerSail, Robert Nowatzki, and his crew, Holger Körner, originally needed for the tour. This was 10 days, 9 hours, 32 minutes and 20 seconds.
At the end of the competition organized to beat this time, the winner will receive a trophy and prize money of 1,000 euros.
