The first day at the Nordic Folkboat Finnish Championship started in heavy sea mist. Practical visibility was less than 200 meters, so first time ever I had to start by driving my RIB to the organizers (NJK) harbour and ask where the boats are.

The first day at the Nordic Folkboat Finnish Championship started in heavy sea mist. Practical visibility was less than 200 meters, so first time ever I had to start by driving my RIB to the organizers (NJK) harbour and ask where the boats are. Luckily one Race Committee motor boat with Pata and Robbie happened to be there so the first photo is taken when I'm following them to the Folkboat fleet which is moving together with the start boat out to the race area. After noon the heaviest sea mist vanishes...

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. After most of the boats had arrived to the after sail party at the Suomenlinna island the worst thunderstorm of the whole summer struck the event, anyhow without causing any bigger damages. 80 photos and a short 2 minute video. Results, which are not the most important thing in this event, can be found HERE.

After a 3 week windy period it was time again for Finland’s greatest annual race sailing regatta in Hanko.

After a 3 week windy period it was time again for Finland's greatest annual race sailing regatta in Hanko.

List of all Hanko Regatta photos 2006-2017.   The aftersail photos are from Saturday with 6mR yacht Boré III celebrating her 80 years and from the traditional...

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. […]
