Louhi Class European Championship: Dragon Europeans 2026 Helsinki

International top-level sailing takes over Helsinki's maritime centre as the prestigious Louhi class (Dragon) competes for the European championship in summer 2026.

Helsinki's beautiful archipelago provides a stage for one of sailing's most classic boat classes. The competition will attract around 70 boat teams and world-class sailors from across Europe. The historic Valkosaari (White Island) serves as the heart of the event, and the public can enjoy the competition atmosphere from close range.
