The Whitsun Weekend You Won’t Want to Miss!

Picture this; It's a varm June day. The sun sparkles on the water, the sky stretches wide and blue above you. You're at the helm of your X-Yacht, a gentle summer breeze filling the sails.

Everything feels effortless. Life slows down — in the best possible way.

Ahead lies Haderslev Fjord. The beech trees reflect on the calm water, cattle graze peacefully along the shoreline, and swans glide by as you sail alongside friends from the X-Yachts community.

Together, you’re headed toward X-Yachts headquarters at the heart of Haderslev Fjord.

But this isn’t just another sailing trip — it’s the start of a Whitsun Weekend full of unforgettable experiences.

The Whitsun Weekend You Won’t Want to Miss!

As you approach the harbor, a RIB appears, stocked with ice-cold drinks — just in time to quench your thirst under the afternoon sun.

The atmosphere lifts even higher. You catch the sound of live jazz drifting from the marina, the soft notes of a saxophone blending with the happy chatter of sailors arriving from near and far.

You’re guided to your berth, where an outdoor lounge awaits on the green in front of the yard.

Cool cocktails are served, and the vibe is laid-back and welcoming — the kind of feeling you wish you could bottle and take home. Smiles are everywhere.

Familiar faces and new friendships, all brought together by a shared passion for sailing and the X-Yachts lifestyle.

How you join is up to you - choose your class

Take part in the racing — or just soak up the atmosphere and enjoy the incredible view of hundreds of sails on the water. You can even team up with friends on another boat — many are more than happy to bring guests along.

Choose between three classes:

RACE CLASS

For those who want to compete at the highest level.

Fully crewed boats with a valid ORC certificate. The races will include both upwind/downwind races and coastal courses.

FAMILY & FRIENDS CLASS

A more relaxed, yet still competitive, coastal sailing experience.

Open for crews of any size, with a minimum of two sailors.
To encourage maximum participation, a rating certificate is not required. The races will include coastal courses. The class will be specified by race-organisers according to boat size.

CHAMPAGNE CLASS

A single, laid-back gentleman’s race each day, followed by time to unwind and socialize.

For sailors who enjoy boating lifestyle with less focus on racing. To encourage maximum participation, a rating certificate is not required. There will be only one short distance race per day, and all with a relaxed approach to results. After sailing, participants may watch other races while enjoying champagne.
