2009 regattas and sailing activities around the High Coast

Sweden is pure fun for sailors and Höga Kusten is no exception: despite here the season to go playing on the water is quite short - due to the latitude it is "concentrate" from end of May to beginning of September - a very rich racing activity is present.

All the local sailing Clubs have a really intense racing activity on the water and a lot of events are planned for the summer, so the suggestion is to get in touch and to refer to them to get the best.
If you're cruising with your boat the High Coast in that period, you can join several regattas. Lot of them are thought to allow cruising sailors to approach the world of the competition: you can find a lot of club races, where a simple system of compensation (LYS, or similar formulas) allow to race with every kind of boat having fun together. Getting in touch with the race organizers, you can find easily an help to get introduced and all the infos you need to plan your race.

Lot of the regattas are cruising races, probably the best way to conciliate your holidays with family and your "athletic spirit": most important is the Ulvöregattan, organized in July by ÖSS between Örnsköldsvik and the Isle of Ulvön. More info at Örnsköldsviks segelsällskap website.
