Danish Trimaran Flying Dragon on record course at MidsummerSail!

Wismar, Deutschland - On June 21, 2025, the starting signal was given to an extraordinary sail event in the heart of the Baltic Sea: the Midsummer sail gathered a record number of 86 boats from five nations in the Wismar Bay. The regatta, which is known as the ultimate offshore challenge, celebrates its tenth anniversary. The race leads the participants on a distance of 900 nautical miles to Töre, the northernmost port of the Baltic Sea.

The Danish trimaran "Flying Dragon" is currently ahead and is already four hours before the best time in its category. Due to the inconsistent weather, everything is still open. A low pressure area ensures high speeds, but the forecasts promise changeable weather, which makes the plan to break the record of all boat classes, a real challenge. To do this, the first participant is expected to arrive in Töre on Thursday morning at around 8 a.m. href = "https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/mecklenburg-vorpommern/westmecklenburg/ostsee-regatta-midsummer-daenischer-trimaran-auf-lekordurs ,Mvregioschwerin-214.html"> NDR .

A look at the regatta

The Midsummer Sail event, which started on June 21, 2025 at 1 p.m., is a non-stop offshore regatta that attracts those who are looking for adventure and exciting competitions on the water. The novelty this year is the large number of boat classes, from high -performance vehicles to family crews that either sail alone or in the team. The event not only promotes the competitive spirit, but also creates a feeling of solidarity between the participants from different countries around the Baltic Sea, such as Sail World noted.

Currently, about 20 of the 60 active participants in different ports await better weather conditions in order to be able to set their sails. An unfortunate incident occurred on Sunday when a boat north of Rügen Kentert. Fortunately, the skipper, who was taken to the hospital by helicopter, remained unharmed.

This season there are a total of 26 regattas for one-handed and two-handed sailors in the Baltic Sea. You not only benefit from the simplified planning, but also from the special dynamics that arise in this form of competition. Further events are
