55th Ice Cup of the O-Jolles – November wind on the Baldeneysee

On November 7th and 8th, 2026, the Baldeneysee in Essen will once again be the scene of some sporty cold sailing: The Essener Segler-Club Ruhrau eV is hosting the 55th Ice Cup for the O-Jolle RR class. Despite the late autumn temperatures, this long-standing regatta is a highlight of the O-Jolle sailors' calendar. The Ice Cup is not only a sporting competition but also a testament to true sailing passion – because only the hardiest dare to venture out onto the water in near-freezing temperatures. The regatta is considered a memorable end to the season and offers an ideal opportunity for sailing enthusiasts to connect and bond.
