EVENTS
The European 18ft Skiffs host four highly anticipated events each year, taking place at some of the most stunning and diverse locations across the continent. These include the beautiful Ammersee in Germany, the iconic Lake Garda in Italy, the vibrant waters of Aarhus in Denmark, and the world-renowned Weymouth in the UK. Each venue offers a unique combination of breathtaking scenery, challenging conditions, and a rich sailing history, providing the perfect stage for competitive racing and unforgettable experiences.
At every event, sailors are not only tested by the demanding conditions but also surrounded by the spirit of camaraderie that defines the 18ft Skiff community. From the iconic alpine backdrop of Ammersee to the crystal-clear waters of Lake Garda, each location offers its own distinctive charm and set of challenges. Whether racing in the sometimes unpredictable winds of Aarhus or navigating the tidal waters off Weymouth, every event is a chance to push your skills to the limit while celebrating the passion for sailing that brings everyone together.
