Entry #18: Max Gärtner and his 12 man crew onboard 'Haspa Hamburg' Joins Garmin Round Denmark Race 2026

Max Gärtner is set to line up for Garmin Round Denmark Race 2026 with Haspa Hamburg, a JV 52 racing Fully Crewed of 12 (!) out of Hamburg. His entry adds another experienced campaign to a race that stands as one of Northern Europe’s most demanding inshore races, following an around

Denmark course that tests preparation, teamwork, and consistency from start to finish.

“We are looking forward to racing across a challenging race course from Denmark through our home waters: In it to win it!” says Max Gärtner.

For Gärtner and his crew, the course carries a special dimension. Starting from Denmark and passing through waters they know well, GRDR26 offers both a sporting challenge and a familiar regional setting. Sailing a powerful JV 52, Haspa Hamburg brings speed, range, and strong crew potential to a fleet expected to feature ambitious teams from across the Nordic region and Northern Europe.

With its mix of tactical decisions, changing conditions, and long inshore stretches, GRDR26 continues to attract sailors who want to measure themselves against a major Northern European sailing challenge.

Gärtner’s “in it to win it” approach makes Haspa Hamburg a team to follow as the entry list builds.
