WELCOME TO THE 50TH WORLD MILITARY SAILING CHAMPIONSHIP IN FINLAND DEAR PARTICIPANTS AND GUESTS I wish to extend my warmest greetings and welcome you as our distinguished guests to the 50th World Military Sailing Championship in Helsinki and the Finnish Naval Academy. Thank you for accepting our invitation. As this year’s championship is a milestone for the International Military Sports Council, CISM and Military Sailing, it is also a significant year for the Finnish Defence Forces and the Finnish Navy as we celebrate our 100 year anniversary. Finland has been an active member of CISM since 1964. This is the first time Finland is hosting the World Military Sailing Championship.
