Farkas Litkey on Balatonkenese

Описание: Snow-white sails and the sparkling, light blue Balaton: the 54th Blue Ribbon Raiffeisen Grand Prix is coming! The competitors will stand at the starting line on 14 July, along the section between Balatonfüred and Zamárdi, and 556 boats will be waiting for the start of the most significant race in Hungarian sailing. You should definitely make your way to Lake Balaton for the competition! If you want to be sure, head for Balatonkenese, because Litkey Farkas, a thirteen-time Blue Ribbon winning sailor, says that this is the best spot to see the boats setting off at 9 a.m. "The boats arrive at Balatonkenese at around 10 a.m., where it is worth watching the buoy turn from the Soós-hegy lookout. But you can also see the race clearly from Magaspart, Balatonakarattya, and of course you can also follow the events from the water too."

The blue riband was awarded to the vessel that crossed the Atlantic the fastest. Hungária Yacht Club transferred this age-old tradition to Hungary’s largest lake in 1934, the first time it announced the greatest round-the-lake regatta in Central Europe. It remains the most important regatta on Lake Balaton today.
