Pantaenius Rund Skagen 2026
Pantaenius Rund Skagen 2026 is already history. From light winds at the start to stormy gusts in Jammer Bay, this year’s race once again had it all.
Results and winners
The first yacht to cross the finish line was, as in 2024, RAFALE with Malte Päsler (VSaW). Elapsed time: 45 hours, 8 minutes and 22 seconds – meaning the 26-year-old record set by UCA remains unbeaten.
On corrected time, RAFALE also takes first place in the scoring group for the International German Offshore Championship (IDM). The following positions are held by HINDEN with Jonas Hallberg (YCS, KYC) and PURE with Lars Hidde (BSC). Special congratulations go to ELIDA, skippered by our Managing Director Daniel Baum (HSC), for securing fourth place.
In the Nordseewoche scoring group, SUNBIRD was the first yacht to arrive in Schilksee after 67 hours, 4 minutes and 58 seconds. As a result, SUNBIRD also ranks first on corrected time. It is followed by FREDFISHER with Frederik Linthout (NRV) and PEGGY with Ferdinand Muth (DHH-RG).
Congratulations! The entire Pantaenius team would like to thank all participants and is already looking forward to the next edition because there is no better way to get to Kiel!
The IDM ORC Sea Offshore consists of three individual races
Early Bird Series Sundowner
The Early Bird Series Sundowner is the night-time regatta that kicks off the North Sea Week. The race starts immediately after the Wedel–Cuxhaven shuttle service. The course runs from Cuxhaven to Heligoland.
Capitell-Cup Round Helgoland
The Capitell-Cup Round Helgoland has been one of the highlights of the North Sea Week since 1925. The course leads once around the island and the dune. Spectators on the Oberland have an excellent view of the racing action.
Pantaenius Round Skagen
The Pantaenius Round Skagen Race has been a fixture of the North Sea Week since 1932. The course leads from Helgoland to the northern tip of Denmark and back to Schilksee on the Kiel Fjord. The challenges lie in the unpredictable weather of the North Sea and the cross-courses in the Kattegat.
