Baldenopti Regatta on May 9th and 10th, 2026 – Sailing Club Essen-Heisingen invites you to the Baldeneysee

On the weekend of May 9th and 10th, the Baldeneysee in Essen-Heisingen will be transformed into a lively sailing area: The sailing club Essen-Heisingen (SKEH) is hosting the traditional "Baldenopti Regatta". Young sailors will compete against each other in the Optimist dinghy class, sailing their small boats across the Baldeneysee.

Around 30 young sailors are expected to participate, and they will compete in exciting races under what is expected to be favorable weather conditions. The club, founded in 1969, looks forward to welcoming many visitors.
