Tomorrow we start the main event of the year (tradition): Helsinki-Tallinn Race. This is the largest sail competition in Finland. 173 yachts are participating this offshore race in several classes.
AquilaDeux (LYS 1,20) is starting in the Class Business-LYS that leaves at 18.00 EET.
23 boats will cross the starting line the same time.
The crew is selected as follows:
1. Commander crew: Skipper Petri, Steerman Jaska and Navigator Stidi
2. Deck crew: Officer Erkki, Deckmen Ipu and Pekka
3. Pentry: Grand Chef Ville
The tradition is to reach Tallinn the next morning and beginning on Saturday evening the organizers have arranged huge party in the Pirita port. More than 800 sailors will collect together in Pirita to speculate the past night.
The biggest prize collector is Tallinn Children's hospital that will collect huge donation from the participants.
More information of the race on the organizer's webpage:

The night will be long, so the most important role is with the Grand Chef in the pentry to keep the crew on the mood.
In advance I can promise that on Saturday morning there will be at least Canapés filled with Foie Gras and Quills eggs, and of course sparkling wine.
