The club is based in the Pirita Olympic Harbour,
which was purpose built
for the 1980 Moscow Olympics and offers outstanding regatta facilities.
The harbour is located just 5km from Tallinn, the historic
capital city of Estonia, with its numerous pubs, clubs and restaurants,
outstanding shopping facilities and historic centre, which dates back to the 13th
century and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
"We are thrilled to be taking the Melges 24 World Championship
to the former Eastern Block for the first time." commented International Melges
24 Class Chairman Günter Tzeschlock. "Tallinn is one of the Baltic's most beautiful
and historic sailing
venues and with the advantages of the purpose built Olympic marina and great
sailing waters plus a fascinating city and sandy beaches right on the doorstep
we're all set for a fantastic regatta. Despite the global economic problems we achieved
a record entry at our
2009 European Championship and we're expecting a record entry for this event
too thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of our sailors and the outstanding
organisational skills of the Kalev Yacht Club and the Finnish and Estonian
Melges 24 Class."
