HSS 131 Years Champagne Regatta – Baltic Classic Masters
We are proud to announce the 14th Champagne Regatta featuring Taittinger Champagne as our title sponsor. The Taittinger brand, combined with the regatta experience on Liuskasaari, brings us one step closer to developing a unique regatta experience. HSS welcomes all sailors and yacht clubs to our main sailing event August 24th-25th 2024.
The sailing will be followed by the traditional Champagne Dinner and Party at the renewed HSS Pavilion Restaurant. Concurrently, we will feature the West Shed 5 Metre and Friends BYOB Party. Please check out the full social program.
Honorary guests in 2024 are Ocean Globe Race 2023-2024 participants and modern classics Galiana WithSecure and Spirit of Helsinki, both racing in the newly instigated S&S and Swan Class.
As part of the regatta, the 5.5 Metre Class will sail their Open Nationals from August 23rd-25th.
This year, we aim to surpass our previous record with 93 registered boats. The Dragon Class will join with a significant fleet, and we also hope to achieve record attendance in several other classes, particularly Hai, H-Boats, 5 Metres, and S&S and Swans.
The regatta is open to all boats in the classes: 5m, 5.5m, 6mR, 8mR, Dragon, Star, and Hai. These classes will sail on a windward-leeward course south of Liuskasaari. The archipelago race is for classes: All Skerry Cruisers, A-boat, H-boat, Folkboat, S&S & Swan, Baltic Classic Masters Boats. The Baltic Classic Masters class is open to all boats built before 1974.The Champagne Regatta is one of three regattas in the Baltic Classic Masters series, consisting of the Sandhamn Classic, and the Airisto Classic.
HSS particularly addresses the regatta invitation to classes that have either been conceived or strongly endorsed by the club throughout its history: the SK 22, Hai, 5.5, and H-Boat classes.
