Spectacle on Lake Constance: 250 boats conquer the around regatta!
Spectacle on Lake Constance: 250 boats conquer the around regatta!
If you do nothing on the long Corpus Christi weekend, you should definitely visit Lake Constance! The 74th edition of the popular around regatta begins on June 19, 2025, and that with wonderful, warm early summer weather. This traditional event, which attracts more than 250 boats and sailors from Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy, once again promises a great spectacle, both on water and on land. Schwäbische reports that the starting shot will be given on Friday at 4 p.m. by the historic steam ship Hohentwiel.
The regatta divides into four starting groups, with the catamarans and swamp boats first run into the race. The races take place in front of the picturesque backdrops of Romanshorn, Constance and Überlingen. A number of buoys have to be avoided - a sporting challenge, especially since in Überlingen there is often no wind blows at night! It will be exciting for the participants, because the first boats reach Lindau after about five hours, with less wind may extend the arrival times.
ceremony and entertainment
The start of the event is the Meckatz Gensegarten, which opens on the Hafenpromenade on Corpus Christi Day at 11 a.m. At 2 p.m. there will be an official opening at the sailing port, where Mayor Claudia Alfons will speak. A special highlight is the appearance of the Marinechor Aulendorf at 4.30 p.m. on the action stage. So that the party is not neglected, a warm-up party night with the band "Diej and the What Band" takes place at 7.30 p.m.
On Friday, visitors can also enjoy a cozy sailing drink from 10 a.m., where there is white sausage, pretzels and beer. On the same day, the beer garden on the harbor promenade opens at 11 a.m., and from 12.30 p.m. extensive information and interviews will be provided at the Segelhafen. If you can't be there, you have the opportunity to follow the race in the live stream from 4 p.m.-both on the website of the Lindau sailor club and on an LED wall in the sailing beer garden. Each boat receives a GPS tracker so that the viewers can follow the regatta in real time. Last year over 6800 users followed this event!
security and commitment
A committed team of over 120 members and friends of the Lindau Sailor Club ensures that the event runs smoothly. A sophisticated security concept that integrates the water protection police and the DLRG ensures the safety of all participants and spectators. At the award ceremony of the 74th around Saturday evening at 7 p.m. you can be particularly excited, but the stories of the sailors, who are told on the campaign stage from 2 p.m., should also provide many interesting insights.
In the coming years, the Lindauer Sailer Club is already looking for the anniversary round 2026. If you want to experience the atmosphere and the enthusiasm around the regatta, you should never miss this appointment. For water sports fans, Lake Constance also offers impressive opportunities this year: Around 80 sailing regattas are already planned for 2024, which makes the region an Eldorado for sailing enthusiasts, such as DetailsOrt Konstanz, Deutschland Quellen
