– the chance to learn from other experienced sailor's through coaching and lectures – the chance to compete against some the best dinghy sailors in the Nordic region

and spectators as a professional and high quality event

Vision

Less qualifying races on regional and national level opens for a national dinghy regatta in August

• Less qualifying races in 2017 than previous years and

changed directives for children creates an

• pportunity and a need for a national regatta,

especially for optimists

• Gothenburg and the West Coast is home for a

majority of Sweden’s sailors, but with few other recurring national dinghy regattas

• The two organizing clubs, Rådasjöns Segelsällskap

(RÅSS) and Björlanda Kile Segelsällskap (BKSS), have vast experience of organizing and hosting large regattas on regional, national, and on international level

• With the combined forces of RÅSS and BKSS an

experienced and sufficiently large organization can be secured for years to come
