How COVID-19 impacts sailing in the High Coast and at our guest harbor

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a dramatic effect on people’s health and on our lives globally.

Recreational boating activities around the Baltic Sea have been affected as well by the restrictions and directives regarding COVID-19 that have been introduced by the governments of many countries.

“COVID-19 restrictions” mean that in many countries cruising is severely restricted or currently prohibited. Countries neighboring Sweden (Denmark, Norway and Finland) have also introduced restrictions. In Sweden, there is not a ban on cruising but people were asked to restrict non-essential travel.

It’s important that we all - as sailors & citizens - do our part:

  • by protecting people's health - especially within local communities

  • by following the recommendations of the health authorities that aim to fight back against the spread of COVID-19

  • by acting in accordance with their recommendations regarding travel and public gatherings in the country

  • by following the government advice to discourage non-essential travel.

 
 
Sailor's Base Camp at Docksta Havet

We are aware that COVID-19 presents an unprecedented challenge to our guest harbor since we relaunched the marina in Docksta fifteen years ago in 2006.
 

Under the circumstances and in light of the COVID-19 situation, which continues to rapidly evolve, with regret, we inform Friends and Sailors that we’ll be not able to start the 2020 season at Docksta Havet Base Camp and to let any mooring during the summer.

Our office, the Sailor's Club House and the Service House, will be closed, including our moorings on floating wharfs and on the main piers.
 

Please note that any kind of mooring, even temporarily, will be not allowed during the summer period May/September 2020.

Any activities within the entire area of our guest harbour - like exhibits or pop-up activities, the Play2Sail Arena and radio-sailing school - will be temporarily suspended.

For any kind of help or info, please get in touch with us.
