Invitation to the Zhik Nordic Youth Sailing Championships

Dear Club Members and Supporters,

We warmly invite you to take part in the Zhik Nordic Youth Sailing Championships, taking place from 22–26 July at Haven Kakumäe Marina.

📍 The Opening Ceremony will be held on Tuesday, 22 July at 19:00 – you are welcome to cheer on the athletes and celebrate the start of this international regatta together with our guests and partners.

⛵ The racing days will run from 23–26 July, featuring over 300 young sailors from eight Nordic countries competing in the classes Optimist, ILCA 4, ILCA 6, Zoom8, and 29er. This is the most important youth sailing event of the year in our waters – and spectators can enjoy the action both from shore and at sea. The first races are scheduled to start at 11:00.

🌟 A special nation vs. nation format will captivate spectators on Friday, 25 July, during the thrilling and easily viewable Optimist Team Race – a team competition that offers excitement for sailing enthusiasts and marina visitors alike.

🎥 In the Regatta Village, visitors can enjoy a large screen broadcasting photos and videos from the races, with occasional live streams and interviews with sailors and coaches – allowing everyone to experience the regatta even from land.

Come and support young athletes as we celebrate sailing, international sport, and Estonia’s rich maritime culture!
