The Notice of Race is taking much longer than expected to be finalised by the club so this information is provisional, dependent on the final version when published. We do not expect any changes, but this is not guarenteed to be fully correct. As soon as the NoR is publised we will issue a press release. Apologies for the delay. It is out of our control.

"Spread your registrations more. We now have 13 registered. We are missing some of you. We hope for good conditions and to get a great group together for lots of good conversation before and after the sailings. Welcome."
Kind regards, P-A Liljedahl!
