The 10th edition of the Agora direct MidsummerSail, the longest sailing race on the Baltic Sea set off on the Summer Solstice, June 21st.
72 boats were fired into action by the cannon of the traditional ship, the Wissemarer, heading from Wismar, the southernmost point of the Baltic Sea, to Toere at its northern tip.
900 nautical miles lay ahead of the various classes of boat before they reach the famous Yellow Buoy that marks the finish line.
The start shot off with perfect sailing conditions, but a low-pressure system is building up for those racing to beat across the Baltic.
