First start is 14.8. at 18:00 and the last start approx. 21:00. The starting line is by Rysäkari island in Helsinki. The course goes to Helsinki lighthouse leaving the island of Gråskärsbådan and Helsinki lighthouse to the west, continuing to Tallinn lighthouse leaving it to the east and going along the eastern side of Tallinn Bay to the finishing line 0,4 sea miles from Pirita harbour entrance in Tallinn.
