Goosebumps at Lake Constance: The 75th AROUND lights up the night

When the Alpine backdrop glows in the evening light and the first starting shot is fired, the stadium atmosphere pulses at Lindau Harbor. The Lindau Sailing Days with the legendary night regatta AROUND bring hundreds of sailing yachts to Lake Constance from June 4 to 6, 2026 – celebrating the anniversary of one of the largest long-distance regattas in Europe. Spectators enjoy field suspense from the shore while tactics, speed, and teamwork decide on the water.

Racing under floodlights: Starting blocks, course, finish

The regatta runs once around the lake. The long course for the fast classes leads from Lindau to Romanshorn, Eichhorn, and Überlingen back; the shorter course heads to Romanshorn and Eichhorn. Starts begin in waves from 16:00, with the finish located at the pier of the Lindau Sailing Club e.V. The award ceremony takes place on Saturday evening at 20:00 – a perfect setting for fan chants and applause along the promenade.

Tactics and team dynamics: Where the race is decided

Those chasing the Blue Ribbon sail not only fast but smart. Early laylines, high-pressure wind fields in the Upper Lake, and clean tacks before the harbor entrance save fractions of a second. Formation changes between downwind gennaker and upwind course, consistent pressing at the marks, and precise crew communication under floodlights ensure an advantage – sailing as high-performance sport to touch.

Audience magnet with festival feeling

Three days of programming on land: music stages at Mangturm and Rüberplatz, culinary stands, and activities for children. The harbor promenade becomes a fan mile – dense crowd, camera clicks, waves of cheers. Public transport is recommended; in the mainland, parking areas P1, P2, and the parking lot at Reutiner Bahnhof are available.

History and records: The myth lives on

Since 1951, AROUND has been writing stories of wind and waves. In 2025, the mark was set on the 100-kilometer course with 3:38:33 hours – a record time that sets the tone for the anniversary edition. An impressive mass start with over 400 boats, precise race management, and gripping duels into the night is expected again.

Conclusion

The 75th AROUND combines tradition, emotion, and top-level sports. Visitors experience sailing action up close, the noise of the crowd, and goosebump moments along the promenade. Secure your date now and feel the anniversary live at Lake Constance!
