When the high-tech catamarans engage in a thrilling race on the water, the island becomes a meeting place for international sailing fans. Last year, around 13,000 sailing enthusiasts watched the spectacle from the stands. According to the organisers, around 1,000 more seats will be available this year. Nevertheless, anyone wishing to be there in person should act quickly.
SailGP is regarded as the Formula 1 of sailing – fast, spectacular and close to the spectators. That is precisely what makes the event in Sassnitz so appealing. Against the backdrop of Rügen, international teams compete against one another for the top places.
