A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Bluewater Day in beautiful Marstrand, Sweden! 🇸🇪

We enjoyed a fantastic day packed with expert advice, knowledge sharing, and practical tips for bluewater sailing. It was especially great to see some of this year's ARC and ARC+ participants meeting each other ahead of their arrival in Las Palmas, beginning to build the friendships and connections that make the rallies so special.

A special thank you goes to all of our expert speakers for sharing their experience and insights, to our past participants who brought their boats along to showcase their setups and equipment, and to Pantaenius SE for generously hosting the event.

Whether you're preparing for an ocean crossing or just starting to plan your bluewater sailing adventures, our shoreside events are a fantastic way to learn from experienced sailors, ask questions, and connect with others on a similar journey.

We'll be adding more events throughout the year, so if there isn't currently one in your area, be sure to check back regularly to see what new locations may be added.

Thank you again to everyone who attended - we look forward to seeing you at another event soon!
