Welcome to Knudshoved Marina!
Perfect race area and spectators site
Sailors:
At Knudshoved Marina, you get flat water, zero current, and stable wind conditions regardless of direction. The race area is surrounded by a stone pier, ensuring tight, tactical, and manoeuvre-focused racing.
Spectators:
Imagine standing 5 meters above sea level, right in the middle of the racecourse, with a clear view of all marks. From here, you can not only follow the entire race but even hear the sailors as the action unfolds.
Where History Meets High-Performance Sailing
Knudshoved has historically been one of Denmark's most important ferry crossings, connecting Funen and Zealand for centuries before the bridges were built. This unique location, once a vital link for travelers and trade, now offers a spectacular setting for sailing. Racing Hobie 16s here combines modern high-performance sailing with a place rich in history—right where generations once crossed the Great Belt
