Sessan Cup
Background
The Sessan Cup is one of the oldest international Folkboat regattas. Together with the Gold Cup and the San Francisco Cup, it is one of the major international contests in the Folkboat class. The event goes back to 1952, when it was staged in Göteborg for the very first time.
The name derives from the Sessan ferry line between Sweden and Denmark, who sponsored the first event. All the ferries were named after princesses; “Sessan” in Swedish is short for “the Princess”. The original owner of the Sessan Line, Ulf Trapp was a Folkboat enthusiast and had three Nordic Folkboats.
Recently, the venue has alternated between Scandinavia and Germany. The last Sessan Cup event was held at Berlin Wannsee in 2014.
