For the 24th time, the North Sea's oldest traditional sailing regatta takes place in early October. From October 2-4, 2026, interested participants can join the Wilhelmshaven Sailing-CUP on the Jade - not just as spectators, but as part of a ship's crew.
On Saturday, October 3, 2026, numerous traditional sailing vessels set out for the regatta. No prior experience is necessary; beginners are welcome. On board, you'll enjoy a sailor's breakfast, a hearty meal, coffee, tea, and cake - and after the regatta, a traditional regatta beer.
Ship assignments are made approximately 1-2 weeks before the event by email or phone. Participation from age 14.
