VIDEO: Sopot Match Race highlight show

The third stage of the 2014 Alpari World Match Racing Tour came to Sopot, the most prestigious sea resort in Poland located on the Baltic Sea, between Gdansk and Gdynia.

The Sopot Match Race, held July 31-August 3, is the newest event to join the Tour, with racing on the Baltic sea in Diamont 3000 yachts. Twelve teams went head to head, amongst them Ian Williams, leading the Tour after two Stages.

Full of life during the day and night Sopot offers plenty of sporting and cultural opportunities along with a vibrant nightlife.

The stunning racing venue is located only tens of meters from the beach and the longest wooden pier in Europe – the famous 550m long Molo pier which attracts over 20,000 people every day.

Social activities are centred around the Sheraton Sopot Hotel and the racing is held out of the brand new yachting Pro Marina located at the end of the Molo pier.
