This year the Moonsund Regatta (Muhu Väina Regatta) will be held for the 54th time |
The 7 courses of the week long regatta will be Pärnu-Roomassaare, Roomassaare round, Roomassaare-Virtsu, Virtsu-Heltermaa, Heltermaa round, Heltermaa-Tallinn and Tallinn round. The final of the regatta in Tallinn will also be a part of the Tallinn Maritime days and one of the outstanding stories in the series of seaside stories of Tallinn as the European Capital of Culture.
In the longest regatta, by time, held in Estonia the yachts are divided into two divisions - sportboats (ORC) and the so called hobby yachts (LYS). The divisions are also divided into groups. The first division of sportboats has four groups, where Group I is for the biggest and fastest yachts and Group IV accordingly for the smallest. The second division, which is for the hobby yachts has two groups.
Performance Line offshore method will be used for improved calculation of time in the ORC groups,
except is in case of headwind-downwind track. For the headwind-downwind tracks
the Performance Line inshore method
will be used. The Low Point Scoring system will be applicable according to
Annex A of RRS. LYS method will be used for improved calculating of time in the
LYS groups according to Annex A of the Racing
Rules of Sailing.
