Held on 6 course on the Kyiv Sea from September 12th to 18th the regatta, sponsored by WOG and Paris Match, bought together over 650 sailors from as young as 8 to well over 70 in a 6 day event to determine Ukraine’s Champions.
“It is the most complex regatta ever organised by the Sailing Federation of Ukraine and to see so many yachts competing is a real indication of the growing health of the sport in Ukraine” said SFU President Rodion Luka.
