Final preparations is on.

The start at Garmin Round Denmark Race 2026 is getting closer.

See you in Aarhus!

Klaus Gram-Hansen and his crew aboard Medvind, an XC 47, are well underway with their preparations for Garmin Round Denmark Race 2026.

Their training session brought plenty of wind and occasional heavy squalls - exactly the kind of conditions that make for valuable practice ahead of 680 nautical miles around Denmark.

As Klaus put it:

"We had a training session today with plenty of wind and occasional heavy squalls. Good practice! Had fun and look forward to seeing you all in Århus."

We look forward to welcoming Klaus, the crew and Medvind to Aarhus this summer.

The big 2-0: 20 entries and counting! 🌊

So far, the entry list includes, nine Single Handed, four Double Handed and seven Fully Crewed.

And there is still time to join the adventure.

Whether you are racing solo, with a co-skipper or as part of a full crew, Garmin Round Denmark Race 2026 is waiting.

𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘙𝘠 #20: Lorenz Jensen and the crew of Rentnerbank are joining GRDR26! ⛵

Sailing Fully Crewed on a JPK 10.30 from Hamburg, the team is preparing for one of Northern Europe’s most demanding inshore races.

Their reason for entering is short, honest, and very crew-focused:

“Why did we choose to take part? Crew said, they would like to do it.” — Lorenz Jensen

That is exactly the kind of team energy GRDR26 is built on: sailors taking on the around Denmark course together, sharing the work, the decisions, and the experience.

Tim Holst Gregersen and his Maxi 77 'Forevigt' are ready for Garmin Round Denmark Race 2026!

With a major sail wardrobe upgrade - including a square top mainsail, genoa staysail, and 145% genoa - 'Forevigt' is gearing up to take on the challenge of racing all the way around Denmark from July 23 to August 1.

We can’t wait to see Tim, his classic Maxi 77 and the rest of the fleet on the starting line in July!

Not every great sailing story ends with a finish line.

In the 2025 Garmin Round Denmark Race, Andreas, Tobias and Johan took on one of Northern Europe’s toughest sailing challenges in Itsi Bitsi, a Farr 727. What began as a strong and promising race toward Skagen turned into a story of endurance, tough decisions, rough conditions and a thunderstorm they will never forget.

A long-held idea is becoming reality for Martin Schulz of Flensburg ⛵

Sailing Double Handed aboard Antoinette, a Winner 12.20, Martin is joining Garmin Round Denmark Race 2026 together with his co-skipper Mathis.

“Ever since I read an article about a race around Denmark in a 2006 issue of the German yachting magazine, I've had the idea of participating in such a race. After several Silverrudder races, this year's timing is perfect for taking part in the GRDR. Together with my Co-Skipper Mathis, we're approaching the challenge of the race with respect and are especially looking forward to the long time at sea.”

A great fit for GRDR26: experience, patience and real respect for the course. We look forward to following Antoinette on this major Northern European sailing challenge 🌊
