Helsingfors Segelsällskap Classic Yacht Committee - CYC launches a new classic regatta for the Baltic Classic Circuit.  

The regatta is organized in co-operation with the Scandinavian Classic Yacht Trust - SCYT. The mission of the Trust is to make sure classic yachts are sailed and seen. We, the CYC and the SCYT, believe this is the best way to make the yachts desired and preserved as part of our cultural heritage.

A new international classic yachting race series, the Baltic Classic Circuit, has been launched 2010 for the Northern Baltic region. The series is based on the SCYT developed tailor made Baltic Rule for classic yachting. The Baltic Rule presents a common ground for all classic yachts to rate against each other and race competitively on the new international regatta circuit series the Baltic Classic Master Cup.

HSS CYC promotes the series by launching the new regatta with the Baltic Classic Master Cup name and in consecutive days with the Viapori Cup, that is another regatta in the Baltic Classic Circuit series. By this arrangement we accomplish to generate an entity of two differently profiled classic yacht events following each other. The Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte Baltic Classic Master Cup Helsinki 2010 will be held on August 13 th and the Viapori Cup on the August 14 th .

The HSS organized Champagne Nicolas Feuillatte Baltic Classic Master Cup Helsinki 2010 regatta will consist of racing in “ classical” era Olympic courses in a triangular format on waters south of Helsinki and celebrations and evening events at the HSS Skifferholmen harbor and the HSS restaurant.

The next morning after the HSS organized regatta the participating yachts will be leaving from the HSS Skifferholmen harbor to the start line on the SuPS organized Viapori Cup, the next event of the consecutive regattas with the next celebrations.

All the larger visiting international yachts (i.e. SK 95, SK 120, SK 150 and 10mR's) will bee mooring at the HSS harbor before and after the both regatta days. A tender boat will be arranged for crews for these yachts to Viapori Cup evening celebrations.
