Hempel Sailing World Championships Aarhus 2018

When Aarhus hosts the Hempel Sailing World Championships in 2018 it will be for all 10 Olympic sailing classes plus Kitesurfing. It is going to be one of the largest sporting events ever in Denmark. During the event, Aarhus will be buzzing with excitement. Sailors from up against 100 nations will compete for Worlds medals and qualifying for the Olympics on the waves of Aarhus Bay. The new pier invites everyone to join the family-friendly activities. It will be a party for all ages and interests, with lots of action for both incarnated fans of sailing, and for those who are not yet familiar with the sport.

Stop by and feel the sea spray and the wind in the sails and join us in celebrating Aarhus, Denmark, The Sea and all of the great athletes.

We’re making room for everyone during the Worlds

Aarhus Ø and Aarhus Bay will be busy places in August. We are working together with various authorities, organisations, shipping companies, the police and Aarhus Harbour to make sure that everything will run as smoothly as possible.

Here’s our official Facebook event – and our new mascot

400.000 visitors – that’s the number we expect to attract to Aarhus during the Worlds. Now you can find our official event on Facebook, and we would love for you to join. You can also meet our new mascot in this newsletter.

Hej, hola, hello, namaste, nĭ hăo…

We have set ambitious goals for the Worlds. One of them is to attract sailors from 90-100 countries – and it’s going well. Registrations are coming in from all Olympic classes.
