Welcome!

We would like to welcome all OK dinghy sailors to our lovely island out on the west-coast for the OK Dinghy Worlds 2022 (5-12 August).

Marstrand is located just a 45 minute drive north of Gothenburg and we are far out on the coast, with Denmark as our neighbour.

We take the liberty to quote Robert Deaves “Marstrand is a ridiculously beautiful place, both for visiting and for sailing. Visitors get a hint of this beauty on the drive in with fjords, bridges, inlets, islands, and vistas galore. But the town itself and the waterways that have made it famous take that beauty to another level. Though an overused cliché, stunning is an apt description, both the shoreside, but also the sailing waters, which are famous worldwide.”

We all look forward to hosting the OK Worlds 2022 and we are working hard to get all details under control. The information will be updated constantly on this webpage!

 

Update on Campers, Yachts and Accommodation

Finally we are able to provide the lowest cost facilities during the worlds here in Marstrand.

We have been able to negotiate three alternatives to the existing ones.
1) Motorhome parking. We have now 20 spots for motorhomes 800m away from the boat parking area. 2500SEK for the complete stay

2) Do you want to live in your boat during the event? Then we have arranged 15 spots in the harbour. 1500SEK for the complete stay is negotiated with the harbourmaster. 300m walk to the dinghy parking, but on the island so you have to take the ferry. The ferry is a 2 minutes ride and it goes every 15 minutes 24/7
3) Living in the Marstrand school during the event. We have booked areas in the school during the event. 600SEK for the complete stay. You have to bring your own sleeping bag and sleeping pad. Toilets and showers are available. 500m walk to the dinghy parking. Also on the island, so you have to take the ferry.
Please book any of these by an e-mail to kontakta@marstrandsss.se and we will register you for this.
