Regatta of the Folkeboat enthusiasts: sailing for everyone in Fahrensodde!
Ready, set, go! Next weekend, June 14th and 15th, 2025, it will be “cast off” again in Fahrensodde. The 49th Nordic Folkeboat Cup Regatta is just around the corner and the anticipation among sailing enthusiasts is palpable. Jan Hinnek Alberti describes the event as a real highlight that brings the sailing skills of the participants to the fore - without any material battles. What counts here is skill on the water and not the price of the equipment. The SHZ reported on the special character of this regatta, which is based on the Folkeboat concept developed by the Scandinavian Sailing Association in 1942.
The Folkeboat, also known as the “sailboat for everyone”, has proven to be extremely versatile since its introduction. It is made from sustainable, local wood and combines robustness with attractive comfort. With space for a small family and the opportunity to both enjoy relaxed sailing and take part in regattas, it is ideal for keen sailors of all ages and experience levels. The motto-based zeitgeist “No one needs more boats!” perfectly highlights the simplicity and fun that this boat brings.
The competition
A total of 16 boats and more than 40 participants are expected in Fahrensodde. The field of participants ranges from newcomers to multiple world champions, including the well-known sailors Per Jørgensen and Ulf Kipcke. Competition director Meinhard Schmidt emphasizes the social diversity of the regatta, which brings together both students and millionaires under one roof. This is also reflected in the planned five races for the coveted challenge prize.

Preparations are in full swing and interest is great. While the regatta has become increasingly popular in the region in recent years, it is not only a sporting event, but also a celebration of the maritime community. The Folkeboat has established itself in the sailing world and has helped to spread sailing among broad sections of the population since its creation. Folkeboat Lotte describes the beginnings of this idea, which wanted to open sailing as an access for all sections of the population.
In this sense, the weekend will not only be sporty, but also social. The inlet beer, which is served after the first regatta, promises a relaxed atmosphere in which sailors can exchange ideas and share their enthusiasm for the sport. The Folkeboat regatta is not just a competition, but also a real communal experience that inspires.
