Dear participant!

We invite you to participate in a survey for visitors of the Moonsund Regatta 2025, where we explore participant satisfaction, time spent in the area, and event-related expenses. The survey is commissioned by the Kalev Yacht Club and conducted by LevelLab OÜ.

The information collected during the survey is confidential and will not be associated with any specific individual. Completing the questionnaire will take 7 minutes. CLICK THIS LINK TO FILL UP THE SURVEY.

If you have any questions while responding, please contact Tauno Õunapuu (tauno@levellab.ee).

To provide sailors with information, we have created a WhatsApp group where the Race Committee will share information, but other members of the group will not be able to post messages there.

We will post a notification when something is added to the Official Notice Board on Manage2Sail, but also let you know what time the awards ceremony will take place in the evening and any other information you need to know.

A. Le Coq 68th Moonsund regatta 2025 will be raced July 12-19 on the route Haapsalu-Kõiguste-Kuressaare-Pärnu.

To keep up to date with all the latest news, follow the regatta on Facebook on the regatta’s general page and sign up to this year’s event. You can also join the Muhu Väina regati PURJETAJAD / Moonsund regatta’s SAILORS group on Facebook, where sailors can also communicate with each other and where notifications will be better received on your phone.

Among all the social media posts made by the sailors, a prize will also be awarded at the prize-giving ceremony of each stage to the team that has made the best post with @muhuvainaregatt and #muhuväinaregatt. 

We will award a prize for the best social media post where the team has shared their experience of the day at the regattaon Facebook or Instagram. Add @muhuvainaregatt and #muhuvaäinaregatt to your post and already in next award ceremony you will have the chance to win regatta cups for all the team members and two blocks of refreshing drinks from A. Le Coq, the main sponsor of the regatta. Also, the race sponsor will keep you in mind.

We will choose the winner completely subjectively!

The A. Le Coq Muhu Väina regatta truck takes the sailors’ equipment from port to port, free of charge.

At the end of the regatta in Pärnu, July 19, sailors are kindly requested to take all their belongings off the regatta truck – there will be no return trip to Tallinn.

The truck is open in the morning before the start of the race and in the evenings. We will let you know the evening closing times on WhatsApp group.

There will be two important people on the escort truck who will help in any way possible to get things on and off.
