Regatta history<br />
Helsinki has served as host for the Scandinavian Gold<br />
Cup regatta in Six Metres twice, in 1939 and 1951. Will<br />
we see any of the prestigious 1922-1952 Cup winners<br />
in Helsinki in 2011?<br />
The last Olympic regatta for the Six Metre class was<br />
held in Helsinki in 1952. The Finnish bronze medalist<br />
Ali-Baba II (then named Ralia) will certainly be racing<br />
at the World Cup. Hopefully we will also see 5th placed<br />
Djinn and 9th placed Titia on the starting line in Helsinki,<br />
49 years later.<br />
The first Six Metre World Cup in Finland was held in<br />
Hanko in 1999. 15 modern sixes and 32 classic sixes<br />
participated. In addition to the Finnish and Swedish<br />
fleets, the Swiss and American contingents were particularly<br />
strong. Will we meet the 1999 Modern medalists<br />
Fleau, May Be XIV and Courage VII? The Classic<br />
podium trio of Ali-Baba II, Mariana and Toy, all local<br />
boats, will certainly be contesting for the Cup once<br />
more.<br />
