Big Scale trade fair regatta in Hall A5
We are “Big Scale”, a community of Ship modeling enthusiasts dedicated to the 1:6 scale. We believe that model sailing is a wonderful hobby that receives far too little attention. That is why we are organizing a regatta on the exhibition basin of Faszination Modellbau 2025 for which you can register.
There will be exciting regattas with four boats, always at 10:00 – 10:30 and 14:00 – 14:30. To make it particularly exciting, all boats are identical and those who are not yet able to sail will be provided with a personal coach. Before each regatta there is a free training session so that the skippers can familiarize themselves with the sailing boats and immediately afterwards there is an award ceremony with great prizes.
We will be supported by D-Power, the VTH and b-boats. You are welcome to register in advance for one of the three days of the fair by e-mail by 26.10.2025: kontakt@b-boats.de or up to 15 minutes before the start of the regatta directly at the Big Scale stand in Hall A5. We are looking forward to seeing you!
Big Scale Messeregatta – Regatta mode
On each day of the fair, two regattas will take place in the sailing slots at 10:00 – 10:30 and 14:00 – 14:30 on the fairground pool in Hall 5. Participants must be at the Big Scale stand in Hall 5 by 9:45 am or 1:45 pm at the latest for registration and transmitter issue. A triangular course will be sailed, depending on the orientation of the wind machines. The regattas will be held with a special trade fair edition of the b-seven S from b-boats.
The course of the regatta is as follows:
- 10 minutes free training and start preparation
- 15 minutes regatta
- 5-minute award ceremony with prize-giving
If you have never sailed before, you will be assigned a personal coach who will advise the skipper before and during the regatta. Participation is only possible once. The moderator is in charge of the regatta. Fun is our top priority!
