Summer in Estonia has reached its midpoint, and for sailors, this means only one thing – it's time for the traditional sailing festival, the Muhu Väin Regatta! Estonia’s biggest and oldest sailing regatta wouldn’t be the same without this event. This year’s A. Le Coq 67th Moonsund Regatta takes place from July 13th to July 20th, starting in Tallinn, heading to Kärdla in Hiiumaa, and finishing a week later in Haapsalu. 102 yachts with around 600 sailors, including participants from Estonia, Latvia, Finland, and Lithuania, are ready to set sail.
