The 2026 RS Tera racing season took the young sailors to inland waters and the sea at venues across Estonia, while also giving them the chance to test themselves against international competition. During the season, they competed in the inland championships, three Gold Cup events, the Saaremaa championships and the RS Tera World Championships in Travemünde. The long racing summer concluded with the Estonian Championships held over two consecutive weekends: the Sport class competed on Lake Võrtsjärv and the Pro class on Lake Tamula.

This season proved successful for the young sailors of Toila Jahtklubi, both individually and in the club standings. The varied venues, changing weather conditions and tight competition demanded adaptability, consistency and the ability to fight through to the end in difficult situations.

RS Tera Sport

The RS Tera Sport class season ranking was won by Albert Erik Luus, who collected 149 ranking points across seven events. His season was marked by consistency and strong results in very different conditions. Christofer Kasin took second in the Sport class with 140 points. Miia Kubjas finished third with 131 points, edging Raul Moorast on equal points thanks to better event results. Among Toila Jahtklubi sailors, Raul Moorast finished the season fourth and Mauri Värimäe sixth. This meant that three Toila sailors made it into the Sport class season’s top six.

Winning the club ranking was not the result of a few isolated podium finishes. It was built on the young sailors’ consistent participation throughout the season, the work put in during training and their willingness to compete in a wide range of conditions. Points were earned both by sailors fighting for wins and by those making their first race starts and gaining valuable experience. We thank all Toila Jahtklubi sailors, parents and supporters. We also thank the entire RS Sailors Estonia family, the organizers and rival clubs for a meaningful, emotional and sportingly strong season. Now it is time to take a short breather, reflect on the work completed and begin preparing for new challenges.

On 19–20 September, Estonian RS Tera sailors gathered on Lake Tamula in Võru for the 2026 Estonian Championships in the RS Tera Pro class. The event was also the final ranking competition of the RS Tera season and the grand finale of a long summer of racing. Thirty-eight young sailors from sailing clubs across Estonia came to Lake Tamula to compete. A total of eight races were held over the two days.

Tamula once again showed its character as a lake-sailing venue. Moderately strong wind provided good racing conditions, but its constantly shifting direction and strength made the races tactically demanding. Positions could change several times during a single race, and success required more than boat speed: sailors had to read the wind shifts, choose the right side of the course at the right moment and make quick decisions.

This made for very close racing right up to the final races. Saaremaa Sailing Academy sailor Christofer Kasin won the overall regatta and the Estonian title, becoming Estonian champion for the second weekend in a row – a week earlier he had won the RS Tera Sport title on Lake Võrtsjärv. The weekend was also highly successful for Toila Jahtklubi. Albert Erik Luus finished the Estonian Championships in second place, bringing the RS Tera Pro silver medal back to Toila. The Tamula regatta was also a fitting finale to the entire 2026 RS Tera racing season!

Mia Mirell Mägi – 27th place

On the morning of the first race day, the wind was shifty and rather light, so luck played a role alongside tactical choices. The races were very exciting, and the battle for better positions often lasted until the final metres. After the lunch break, the wind became slightly stronger and more stable, but the excitement continued. By the end of the day, sailors from Estonia’s Optimist elite occupied the top two overall places. The fight for third was fierce: three sailors were tied on points, with the next competitors close behind.

On the second race day, Lake Võrtsjärv treated the sailors to moderate wind. The stronger conditions also suited athletes who normally train and race with the larger RS Tera Pro sail. The races were generally very close. The exception was Christofer Kasin, who showed technically clean and skilful sailing on Sunday and won all five races held that day. Overall, Alexander Hudson Kaerma took second and Elisabeth Veenpere third. Christofer also became Estonian champion in the boys’ category, while Elisabeth won the girls’ title. The regatta had everything a proper sailing competition should offer: close battles, tears, capsizes, protests, smiles and disappointment. Overall, it was a truly fantastic regatta.
