55th Ice Cup of the O-Jolles at Baldeneysee – Sailing in November

On November 7th and 8th, 2026, it will get sportingly cold again at the Baldeneysee in Essen: The Segelclub O-Jolle e.V. invites you to the 55th Ice Cup of the O-Jolle RR boat class.

Despite late-autumn temperatures, the traditional regatta format is a fixed highlight in the annual calendar of O-Dinghy sailors. The Ice Cup is not only a sporting competition, but also a sign of true sailing passion—because only the toughest dare to venture onto the water at temperatures near freezing. The regatta is considered an atmospheric season finale and offers an ideal opportunity for exchange and community among sailing enthusiasts.
