Folding Boat Sailing World Championship: Action on the Strelasund!
On July 12, 2025, the picturesque Strelasund near Neuhof, not far from Stralsund, will be the venue for the third world championship in folding boat sailing. Sailors from all over the world come together here to demonstrate their skills in a sporting competition with different types of boats. Around 20 folding boats are expected to compete in two different classes: folding boats, including kayaks, canoes and dinghies (with and without outriggers), as well as small sailing vessels up to a length of six meters with a rigid hull

The event not only offers sporting competition, but is also a platform for exchange and community among folding boat sailors. As can be seen from the forum, the sporting aspect of the regatta is in the background, but the regatta fever is omnipresent. Participants also have the opportunity to take part in a training camp for canoe sailors a week before the competition in order to make final improvements to the boat and rig. The helmsman's meeting is particularly important, in which all the necessary information about the course and the start preparations is provided Faltbootforum.
Route and conditions
The sailing route will be between three and eight kilometers depending on weather conditions, with an estimated sailing time of approximately one hour. In order to accommodate everyone involved, the start will be staggered depending on the field of participants. In addition, the costs for participation in this special event are kept quite moderate: participants in the international Kausegelwoche can take part free of charge, while day guests have to pay a fee of 30 euros, which also includes an overnight stay on the em² campus em2 events.
Pioneering work in folding boat sailing
This championship represents an important step towards the popularity of folding boat sailing. The event not only attracts passionate sailors, but also promotes the exchange of experiences and community among participants. “No fish without bones, no person without mistakes,” said a nice greeting from Uli, which aptly summed up the mood among the participants. The mix of sporting ambition and the desire for community ensures that this event will have a permanent place in the calendar of many sailors.
