Viaporin Tuoppi 2008

Viaporin Tuoppi, puuveneiden kilpailu Helsingin vesillä purjehdittiin elokuussa sateessa ja sumussa. Huono ilma karsi osallistujia ja kuvaaminen sateessa oli vaikeaa. Objektiivit kastuivat ja siksi monet kuvat ovat pehmeitä, usvaisia.

Viaporin Tuoppi (Viapori Trophy) was first sailed in 1985, and has reached status of biggest regatta for wooden sail boats in Finland. Usually more than 200 sailing boats compete near the city centrum and boats can be seen close up on town promenade. Viaporin Tuoppi is widely known of the excellent evening party at the harbour on Suomenlinna ancient fortress (Sveaborg in Swedish). The regatta day in August was foggy and rainy, made boats and crew wett and caused troubles for photographing.
