Announcement to competitors (edited at 12.56)

With the given latest facts received from Finnish Boarder Control, Regional State Administrative Agency, and City of Helsinki epidemic department the race organisation has decided to easy the “Health Security Plan”. The Health Security Plan was published on 3rd of June 2021.

To easy these COVID19 restrictions a decision was done by the Race organisers and Avomeripurjehtijat as following (Finnish sailors):
1. A negative COVID19 test result (thus testing) IS NOT required. Have in mind that if you have any symptoms please stay at home!
2. No meeting rescrictions in the harbour are and on the docks
3. SEE Notice of race, point 6.2. This point was written during the bad COVID19 situation. So if you haven´t sent the documents by email you must bring the documents at the latest to the race office. Check out the race office opening times
4. Today, 14th June, is the last day to have your latest valid ORC certificate in the ORC database (see Notice of Race, point 6.3.)
5. Crew weigh-in. See Notice of Race, point 6.3. There will be a possibility to random crew weigh-ins during the regatta

BUT PLEASE NOTE >>> a strong recommendation is that all times on the docks and harbour area a mask and good hand hygiene should be used!

The race office is open,
Thursday 17th from 1700 to 2100
Friday 18th from 800 to 9.30

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

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!
