The legendary Finnish 42‑foot one‑off offshore racer Lygaia (L‑95), Sparkman & Stephens design #1780.4, will join the HSS 133 Years Champagne Regatta - Baltic Classic Masters in the S&S and Swan class.

Built in 1967 for Pekka Herlin by renowned Finnish boatbuilder Eino Antinoja, Lygaia remains one of the most iconic S&S yachts in the country.

This year’s regatta is expected to gather 100 boats across 14 classes and around 400 sailors taking part both on the water and ashore.

Our extensive social programme is now published, including the opportunity to reserve your seat for the Champagne Dinner and Party hosted by Ravintola HSS Paviljonki on Saturday 22 August.

Adelfe (FIN-111) will participate in the HSS 133 Years Champagne Regatta - Baltic Classic Masters on 22-23 August. She is a Swan 36, built by Nautor 1967 but left the boatyard semifinished with the hull no.002. She was finally not launched until some twenty years later, in 1990. Therefore Adelfe is the second Swan ever build and the last S&S Swan launched. She is skippered by Simopetteri Muuronen.
