Venue
The sailing venue will be close to the shore of southern Helsinki, near Eira and Hernesaari (Ärtholmen) areas. The waters have been found good for regattas, for instance the Battle of Helsinki of the M32 Series will be hosted here and it is no wonder that the City of Helsinki is planning a harbour and sailing centre in the tip of Hernesaari. The former industrial site of Hernesaari is transforming to a residential area and thanks to the great sea views and new enterprises like Hernesaaren ranta restaurant complex and Löyly public sauna, Hernesaari has quickly become a popular place to go out with friends.
