Helpline set up for those going foreign

Owners of Sweden Yachts have formed an association to bring together fellow owners worldwide to share information and exchange knowledge. There will also be rallies around Europe, providing opportunities for owners to meet one another and enjoy sociable racing. A crews’ register is planned so that owners who cannot take their own boat may take part by sailing on local boats.

The association will be web based and reports of members’ voyages and other sailing experiences will be welcomed. A help line via email will be set up for those who are sailing in foreign waters.

The man behind the association is Tony Hodges whose Lymington- based SY390 was the last of this model built in 2006.
