HELSINKI-TALLINNA RACE

Ariel2 IMOCA60 already break records in Helsinki-Tallinna Race (HTR) that will start this Friday afternoon. Never before in Finland has a boat had a LYS handicap over 2 as Ariel2 got it 2,14. That is a high number indeed.

HTR is the biggest offshore sailing race in Finland. As the name says, it is sailed from Helsinki to Tallinn where a weekend long party waits. Ari Huusela and his crew however will make a U-turn after crossing the finish line and return the boat to Uiva boat exhibition same night.
