The already traditional open Finnish and Estonian ORC championships in offshore sailing will be held this year in Helsinki, Finland.

The race days are Friday 18.6. – Sunday 20.6.2021.

Madis Ausman, an International Race Officer, is responsible for the race management. Madis, familiar from many previous BOWs, is also involved in the organization of the ORC World Championship 2021 – Tallinn, Estonia.

The competition harbour is the Katajanokka guest marina, which is familiar from 2019. The intention is to get a decent race village with its ancillary services in the harbour area.

The organizing yacht club is the Xtra Stærk Ocean Racing Society, where everyone is familiar with Ari Peltomäki and Tomi Hakola.

The arrangements are made together with the Avomeripurjehtijat – Finnish Offshore Racing Association and the Estonian Yachting Union.

This year, BOW is the perfect place to hone your maneuvers and trims for the ORC Worlds. On the track there is an opportunity to fight not only with the top crews of Finland and Estonia, but also probably with a few ‘long-distance’ teams preparing for the World Championships.

And, of course, the championship medals of both countries will be awarded!

 Save the dates on the calendar and we will let you know when the registration at the Manage2Sail site will open soon!
