700 nautical miles, once around Denmark, start and finish in Kiel: The new offshore format \u201cTanis von der Mosel Race\u201d will be launched in 2026 \u2013 and two developments show that the ambitious project strikes a chord with the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Sponsorship provides momentum \u2013 and a new name<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With Ben Tanis\u2018 law firm specializing in yacht law, the organizers have a committed partner at their side. The sponsorship not only provides planning security, but also a name change: the \u201c400 Islands Race\u201d becomes the \u201cTanis von der Mosel Race.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI am proud and grateful to be able to help make this new race format on the Baltic Sea possible. Many great people have been working on this project for a long time, and now it\u2019s finally getting underway. As a part of the European water sports industry \u2013 it\u2019s a great feeling to be part of this race as well!\u201d says Ben Tanis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. The regatta officially opens: announcement online, registration now possible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Notice of Race has been published and the registration portal on Manage2Sail is now open. Even before the announcement, numerous teams had already signaled their interest. \u201cThe first official registrations have already been received \u2013 including well-known names from the offshore scene, which gives us a lot of encouragement that we have obviously met the needs of the scene,\u201d emphasizes Ecki von der Mosel, the initiator of the race. \u201c After the Middle Sea Race 2024 and the Fastnet Race 2025, we are looking forward to a similar challenge on our own doorstep,\u201c says Lars H\u00fcckst\u00e4dt, who will be at the start with the X-Day. \u201dThis 700 NM race is a real challenge, as the X-Day is optimized for inshore racing. That\u2019s why a high level of seamanship and team spirit is required of us. Above all, the demanding navigation between the Danish islands will be a highlight,\u201c adds H\u00fcckst\u00e4dt. Thomas Reinecke, who has spent many years competing in long offshore regattas with his Edelwei\u00df and will be participating in next year\u2019s \u201dTanis von der Mosel Race\u201c with his new boat, a JND39 named Saukra, adds, \u201dWe are very excited about the new format. After the North Sea Week with Skagen, this will be the second long-distance race for the new boat, covering another 200 miles. The arrival just before Kieler Woche is also a real selling point.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n More than just sailing: social media challenge planned<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Tanis von der Mosel Race also aims to impress digitally. In addition to the classic scoring system, there will be a special award for the best social media coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOffshore racing provides great stories \u2013 we want to make them visible,\u201d says Ecki von der Mosel, the regatta\u2019s creator. \u201cThe community thrives on pictures, videos, and first-hand impressions.\u201d The Tanis von der Mosel Race is relying on the support of the Liquid Words agency for social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The race will start on Saturday, June 13, 2026. Those who are making good progress will be back in Kiel on the 17th \u2013 just in time for the start of Kieler Woche.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 700 nautical miles, once around Denmark, start and finish in Kiel: The new offshore format \u201cTanis von der Mosel Race\u201d will be launched in 2026 \u2013 and two developments show that the ambitious project strikes a chord with the scene.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":14,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"news-category":[9],"class_list":["post-370","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-press-releases"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tanis-vondermosel-race.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/news\/370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tanis-vondermosel-race.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tanis-vondermosel-race.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tanis-vondermosel-race.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tanis-vondermosel-race.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=370"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.tanis-vondermosel-race.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/news\/370\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":453,"href":"https:\/\/www.tanis-vondermosel-race.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/news\/370\/revisions\/453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tanis-vondermosel-race.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tanis-vondermosel-race.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tanis-vondermosel-race.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=370"},{"taxonomy":"news-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tanis-vondermosel-race.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fnews-category&post=370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
