Viaporin Tuoppi is the biggest event for wooden boats in Europe. This year it was organized for the 33rd time. The sailing weather was light and partly cloudy.

Results, which are not the most important thing in this event, can be found HERE.

Sara af Hangö won that race and sailed in the final, but MayBe VI was able to defeat the title successfully. Photos are from the foggy morning,...

The one and greatest Hanko Regatta was sailed on the second weekend of July in varying winds and some fog on Saturday morning. Almost 200 yachts in 17 different classes on 4 separate race areas during three days makes it a popular regatta for a hardcore sailor and for less serious holiday sailors as well. […]
