BSS Sunny Ranking 2024

Next weekend – Sunny Ranking. Organized by BSS and DN Finland.

The recent snow fall fouled the potential sailing areas in southern Finland. The most likely and potential locations are further north the Finnish west coast: Kristiinankaupunki – Vaasa – Kokkola. A year ago Sunny Ranking was sailed in Pjelax. It is possible again this year!

NoR and registration available at manage2sail.

Finnish Nationals regatta completed

All time record: 61 sailors with 11 nationalities participated the Finnish Nationals during the weekend. Tricky conditions, but the same for all. Fair and good racing! Huge thanks to all participants, volunteer race officers, our hosts at Kristalliranta and the organizers.

Overall: Winner P36 Karol Jablonski, 2nd C45 Mihkel Kosk, 3rd C20 Rasmus Maalinn.

Finnish Championship medals were handed to the three best Finnish sailors as follows: Gold L601 Johnny Winquist, Silver L137 Teemu Rantanen, Bronze L112 Reko Suojanen

GM & SM – Update 20Feb

The scouting teams are currently focusing the efforts to Säkylä and Hanko. Other locations are being followed in the background.

There have been already some sailors on ice at Hanko – reporting ice good for sailing. Sailors will be on ice at Säkylä latest Thursday – but according to the local contacts the ice appears good there as well.

The organizing committees will keep on following the weather forecasts and conditions very closely. It is rather warm week ahead of us.
