Essener Segelwoche

Active area
Lake Baldeney is the largest and most important water sports area in North Rhine-Westphalia. 2,300 sailors, 1,900 rowers and 2,300 canoeists are organized in more than 60 clubs around the lake. The local sailors alone organise around 35 regattas each season, including several national championships and over 20 regattas, the results of which are incorporated into the national rankings of the various boat classes. In 2014, for example, a total of 217 boats took part in the Essen Sailing Week alone.

Colourful supporting programmeon shore
The regatta, which has existed since 1957, naturally also offers an extensive supporting programme with many gastronomic offers and live music. On the west side of the lake, in the immediate vicinity of the regatta stand and against the backdrop of Villa Hügel, the former residence of the Krupp family, a tent is set up every year from which visitors to the event can enjoy an optimal view of what is happening on the water.

During the most important, regional regatta week in the greater North Rhine-Westphalia area, the commitment of boot Düsseldorf is of course indispensable. For many years now, boot Düsseldorf has been a competent partner in water sports for the Essen sailing week. In addition to flagging and providing giveaways, boot Düsseldorf traditionally supports the Essen Sailing Week with the popular participant and point prizes awarded to the participants and winners of the regattas.
