A. Le Coq 63rd Moonsund regatta arrived in Tallinn |
The fleet raced 65 nautical miles along the northern coastline. Crosswind did not get the adrenaline pumping for everyone but those who wanted to win, had to give it their all every minute of the race.
ORC I winner was Matilda 4 from Kalev Yacht Club, skippered by Mihkel Kose, who have demonstrated very stable sailing throughout the regatta. A young team lead by an experienced captain is also the overall leader for now. An interview with Mihkel Kose can be found here.
