Winner: Australia
Located on Rügen Island in the Baltic Sea, Sassnitz offers a distinct visual aesthetic—dramatic white chalk cliffs—that differs from the urban and tropical backdrops elsewhere on the circuit.
The Germany SailGP Team finally gets a home event, opening the largest economy in Europe to the league. Germany has a robust sailing culture concentrated in the north around Kiel Week, and Sassnitz taps directly into this demographic.
Baltic Sea conditions offer consistent summer winds and relatively flat water. The chalk cliff coastline creates a stunning visual backdrop while providing reliable racing conditions.
