2024 German and Polish HC16 and HC14 Championship – A Historic Regatta Event in Ustka.

For the first time, German and Polish sailing communities joined forces to organise their National Hobie Cat Championships in the picturesque town of Ustka, Poland. This unprecedented event saw 53 catamarans on the starting line, marking a significant moment in the history of Hobie Cat sailing.

Ustka, with its wide beaches of fine Baltic sand and an open water area, is quickly becoming a prominent location on the European regatta map. The races took place right on the main beach, in the city’s heart, offering tourists and sailing enthusiasts a spectacular view of the competing catamarans. The combination of natural beauty and an ideal sailing environment makes Ustka a perfect spot for hosting top-tier regattas.
