About Ust-Luga Cup
The Ust-Luga Cup project is supported by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation and the Russian Sailing Federation.
For the first time Ust-Luga Cup regatta was held in June 2012 and was timed to coincide with the 10th anniversary of Ust-Luga Commercial Sea Port. The successful regatta was a significant event not only for the international sailing world, but for business and media community as well. Following the regatta success and thanks to the great interest to further development of the project both in Russia and abroad, it was decided to hold the Ust-Luga Cup regatta annually.
Ust-Luga Cup 2014 will be held from June 1 till June 11, 2014. The regatta will follow the former route: from Stockholm (Sweden) till Saint-Petersburg (Russia) via Mariehamn (Finland) and Tallinn (Estonia). The participants and the guests will moor in beautiful places at picturesque islands of Sweden and Finland, visit a bright final show with a parade of sails at the Neva river and the award ceremony at the walls of the Peter and Paul Fortress.
