Every spring, the sailing world turns its eyes to Kiel-Schilksee, where the Mai Offshore Regatta (MaiOR) launches the offshore racing season in northern Europe.
From 2 to 4 May 2025, top teams and cutting-edge yachts will gather on Stollergrund for a regatta known for its competitive racing, dynamic conditions, and world-class talent. As the season's opening event, MaiOR is more than a race — it's a proving ground for what lies ahead.
This year, all eyes will be on the XR 41, making her official racecourse debut. For the first time ever, X-Yachts' new high-performance model will join the ORC fleet, represented by Team Intermezzo and Formula X.
This highly anticipated warm-up is a chance to turn concept into competition — to put theory into motion.
With her open cockpit and race-bred DNA, the XR 41 has already captured attention on the dock. Now, it's time to see what she can do where it truly matters: on the water. We're ready to show the world what the XR 41 is made of.
Stay tuned from 2-4 May, as we follow the XR 41 through her first regatta. Whether you're in Kiel or watching from afar, this is the moment the new generation takes the helm.
Follow the action — this is more than just a race. It's a glimpse into the future of performance sailing.
If you're in Kiel, don't miss the chance to see the XR 41 up close! We're hosting an Open Boat event on Thursday, 1 May at 6:00 PM at Pier 1, South of the harbour, where the two XR 41's are located - and we'd love to see you there.
Come aboard, explore the design, and meet the team behind X-Yachts' newest performance model. Whether you're curious or considering your next race boat, this is your chance to experience the XR 41 first-hand.
We look forward to welcoming those of you who can join us!
Let the countdown begin.
