Set a Record and Own the Trophy*

How fast can you sail Vegvisir Race?

At Vegvisir Race, there is more than one way to win. You can of course cross the finish line first. You can win your class. You can prove to yourself that master the tactical challenges of the night sailing.

And then you can do something that lasts a little longer: Beat one of the Vegvisir Race course records.

We have three perpetual trophies for the Long Course, waiting for the sailors in the categories Doublehanded Small, Medium and Large - so the question is: Who can set the next benchmark?

Get your names on the Trophy

The concept is simple: Beat the record by winning your category in a faster average speed than the standing record. If you and your co-skipper succed your names and time go on the trophy. Further you get to keep the trophy until someone else comes along and sails the course in a faster average speed. Every year all trophees are at stake and must be in Nyborg before the starts*.

For now there are three records to beat.

The Speeds to beat

On the Long Course the are three records to beat:

Doublehanded Small:

Average Speed to Beat: 5.706 knots - set in 2025 by Franz Schollmayer and Falko Braun in the Corsa 915 Firlefranz:

Doublehanded Medium:

Average Speed to Beat 5.775 knots - set in 2025 by Christian Klimt-Møllenbach and Marius Nejrup (on the photo above) in the Arcona 340 Aurum  

Doublehanded Large:

Doublehanded Large: Average Speed to Beat: 5.919 knot - set in 2025 by Remi Prevost and Thomas Hansen in the J/112E Joy

Three boats. Three benchmarks. And all of them are there to be challenged.

Franz Schollmayer and Falko Braun in the Corsa 915 Firlefranz are true Vegvisir Race Pioneers as they have attented the race since 2018.

Christian Klimt-Møllenbach and Marius Nejrup (on the photo above) won and set the time to beat in the medium class in the Arcona 340 Aurum. This year they will compete on the 100 NM course.

Remi Prevost and Thomas Hansen took the trophy in 2025 in the J/112E Joy. They will be on the course again this year to defend the record.
