29er Christmas Video 2025
The International 29er Class is preparing its annual Christmas video, a tradition that brings together sailors, teams, coaches and families from all over the world.
This year, we’re adding a fun twist inspired by the viral “fridge trend”—and we’d love you to join us!
This collective video will be published on our official social media channels to celebrate the end of the season, highlight our global community, and send a message of unity and joy across all continents.
Your contribution, even if just a few seconds long, will help us showcase the true spirit of the 29er Class.
How to Participate
Creating your clip is very simple — and you can do it from home, straight from your kitchen!
Please follow these steps:
- Open your fridge
Any fridge will do — at home, at the club, at a regatta… be creative! - Take out something sailing-related
It can be anything: a glove, a trapeze belt, a sailing shoe, a mini 29er model, a rudder, sunglasses, a sail tie...
Feel free to have fun with it — creativity is welcome! - Look at the camera and say “Merry Christmas!”
You may use English or your own language — we want to hear the diversity of our community. - Close the fridge
And that’s it! Your clip is complete.
Technical Requirements
To ensure consistency across all clips and achieve a high-quality final video, please follow these guidelines:
- Video duration: between 5 and 8 seconds
- Orientation: vertical (smartphone format)
- Resolution: record at the highest quality available on your device
(e.g., 1080p or 4K if possible — most phones have this option) - Audio: make sure your “Merry Christmas” is clear and audible
- Background: the fridge must be clearly visible and recognisable
Why We’re Doing This
The International 29er Class is more than a racing community — it’s a global family.
Our Christmas video is a moment to:
- celebrate all sailors, teams, coaches and supporters
- connect different nations and cultures
- highlight our shared passion for sailing
- close the year with positivity, fun and unity
Your clip helps us tell this story and represent your country in a cheerful, creative way.

We’re excited to see your creativity!
