MEDIA RELEASE
2013 World Rowing Coastal Championships attributed to Helsingborg, Sweden
The right to host the 2013 World Rowing Coastal Championships has been attributed to the Swedish Rowing Federation to be staged in the City of Helsingborg, Sweden. It will be the first time that the event has been held in Sweden and the north of Europe.
The Regatta will be held on the famous ‘Oresund’, a 4 kilometre wide gateway to the Baltic Sea. The City of Helsingborg has one of the longest serving ferry ports in the world. Helsingborg is also known for its beautiful white sandy beaches and clean waters.
Over 450 of the best coastal rowers from all over the world will test their endurance and sea skills during three days of action. The crews will race on and off the beaches, navigate tight buoy turns and cope with challenging sea conditions to reveal who will be crowned champions. There are three classes of coastal rowing boats: solo (C1x), double (C2x) and quadruple (C4x+) with individual races for men and women.
The 2013 World Rowing Coastal Championships will be held from 15 to 19 August 2013 to take full advantage of the northern European summer. Helsingborg Rowing Club invites coastal rowers from around the world to enter the 2012 Öresund Coastal Rowing Race which will serve as the test event and will take place on the 28th July 2012.
