Pro Marine Trade Tallinn COASTAL RACE Opens the A. Le Coq 67th Muhu Väin Regatta Score | 16 Jul 24, piret.salmistu

July 15th, the A. Le Coq 67th Muhu Väin Regatta kicked off from Kalevi Yacht Club in Tallinn, featuring 101 yachts from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland. Over six stages from Tallinn to Kärdla and Haapsalu, the first warning signal was given at 11 AM, marking the start of the Pro Marine Trade Tallinn Round, covering 17 to 25 nautical miles, depending on the yacht class. Today's winners were FORTE, KATARIINA II, PILOILLERI III, VESILEENU, and BACCHUS.

Sunny weather and a gentle westerly wind guided the yachts from Pirita across Tallinn Bay. The wind temporarily died down but then picked up from the northwest, allowing yachts to finish briskly. The fastest yachts completed the course in about five hours.
