The Hanseat 70, a classic GRP yacht. Numerous yachts from the era of early mass-produced fibreglass boats are heading to the gathering in Maasholm, where the owners will discuss how to maintain their treasures.
This coming weekend, from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th September 2026, the annual GFK Classics gathering will take place in Maasholm Harbour. The most beautiful boat will be chosen, a race will be sailed, and everyone will celebrate together.

​For the 21st time, enthusiasts of classic GRP yachts are gathering at the scene’s largest and most important event to exchange ideas, take part in a short regatta – and, of course, to showcase their lovingly maintained boats.

The GFK Classics get underway on Friday afternoon, with participants arriving at the municipal harbour from 3 pm. After check-in, a group dinner awaits them.

On Saturday, after breakfast, there will be a regatta, with a course out to sea around the Schönhagen restricted area. In the evening, after enjoying some refreshments at the barbecue buffet, there will be an opportunity to socialise.

Sunday begins with a group breakfast, followed by the presentation of the various awards to the winners.
