Two months to go and it’s time to enter to compete for the Estonian and Finnish Championship titles in ORC A and B classes during the Baltic Offshore Week 2022, to be held in Kalev Yacht Club, Tallinn on June 16-19.

Official Notice Board, Notice of Race and Online Entry in Manage2Sail

NOTE – in accordance with the ORC policy and the recommendation of the EYU Offshore Committee and the decision of the EYU Board, in 2022 Estonian yachts can participate in the A and B class ORC Estonian Championship with an ORC International measurement certificate only.

Information for Estonian boat owners: Based on the ORC policy and the decision of the EYY Technical Committee, from 2022 onwards data on the weight of the mast or the center of gravity determined by the inclining test, will not be used in the ORC Club measurement certificate. If this data has been measured for your yacht, you should order an ORC International measurement certificate to use it. If they have not been measured for your boat, you can order the measurement here.
The ORC Club is primarily intended for yachts for which there is insufficient data to issue an ORCi measurement certificate, but still allow them to compete with fully measured yachts on the same basis.

Baltic Offshore Week 2021 – Save the dates June 18-20

Posted on January 25, 2021 by BOW2025

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!

Avamerepurjetamise ORC Eesti ja Soome meistrivõistlustel purjetati vähese tuule tõttu laupäeval vaid üks lühirajasõit

Posted on August 9, 2020 by BOW2025

Laupäeval jätkusid Pirital Eesti ja Soome avamerepurjetamise ORC Meistrivõistlused regati Baltic Offshore Week raames. Pärast reedest avamereetappi on kahel viimasel võistluspäeval kavas maksimaalselt seitse ligi tunniajast lühirajasõitu vastutuule-allatuule rajal. Kuid nii nagu reedel, kimbutas ka laupäeval purjetajaid tuulevaikus ja väikeses avanenud tuuleaknas saadi pidada vaid üks lühirajasõit, milles said sõiduvõidu kirja Samuli Leisti Zer0emission (TP 52) Soomest ja Mati Sepa juhtimisel Matilda 4 (J-112 E).
