Finally out with some photos from the 2022 Hanko Regatta. Busy with opening the first exhibition at my new Hanko office "Kulturvärk i Hangö" including a gallery space. This is a multi-purpose space for meetings and exhibitions. The regatta itself was sailed all days in really light wind, with delayed start every day. The foiling Moth class could not race a single race. Really sorry for those guys. Also the photos miss some action, but thanks to the thin clouds in some of the photos there is...

This year the Espoo-Suursaari offshore race was replaced by Helsinki Two Star Bengtskär Runt. I went there adventuring in the middle of the night with my 4,9 meter RIB. I read notes from the different two handed teams who attended the race and, whoa, it was challenging for me too. For me the RIB (safari) […]
This year the Espoo-Suursaari offshore race was replaced by Helsinki Two Star Bengtskär Runt. I went there adventuring in the middle of the night with my 4,9 meter RIB. I read notes from the different two handed teams who attended the race and, whoa, it was challenging for me too. For me the RIB (safari) started from Hanko at 1:55 in the night and I arrived at the Bengtskär lighthouse about 1 hour later. It was nice to surf the waves with wind from behind. Checked the tracker and saw that the...

Suursaari Race is Finlands biggest offshore race and this was the 27th year that it was organized. The race course is interesting as the Suursaari island, which you sail around, before was a part of Finland but today belongs to Russia.

Suursaari Race is Finlands biggest offshore race and this was the 27th year that it was organized. The race course is interesting as the Suursaari island, which you sail around, before was a part of Finland but today belongs to Russia.

This years race was special as for first time a real maxi yacht attended, when Ludde Ingvalls "CQS" was in the race (photos at the end of the slideshow). During photographing...
