Logistics

Sandhamn as an island is car free, as such you have to resort to other means of transportation. The boats will be measured on Bullandö, to which you can drive. From Bullandö you can either sail or tow the J/70 to Sandhamn, and the organization will help facilitate this (more information to come) for teams that do not have their own coach boat.

Launching facilities 

Measurements of boats as well as launching and hauling out boats will take place at Bullandö marina. The regatta organization will arrange with help and tenderboats for those teams that apply for towing in- and out to Sandhamn.  

Bullandö marina is located 40 km from Stockholm and 8 nm from Sandhamn. For more information see www.bullandomarina.se.

 

Marinas at Sandhamn 

KSSS has guest harbours on three different islands, Sandhamn, Lökholmen and Telegrafholmen. The three islands are in close proximity to each other and has capacity for more than 400 boats. You can easily get between the islands by a small shuffle boat. 

The main guest harbour in located at Sandhamn and is situated right in front of the iconic Sandhamn Seglarhotell. The guest harbour is open from the last weekend in April until the last weekend in October. The harbour is managed by our service personel and you can easily recognise them in their red jackets and blue piques. KSSS has 150 guest mooring at Sandhamn. During high season the KSSS Tender is outside the Marina to help and to pilot boats to the right mooring. 

At Lökholmen there are app. 200 moorings. The guest harbour at Telegrafholmen has pontoons on the northern side of Telegrafholmen and has 80 moorings for boats of all sizes.

The areas to be used as regatta harbour are located on either of the islands and offers enough space to keep the whole fleet of boats sheltered between race days. Boats will be kept safe at the club and there will be enough mooring space in the marina for coach-boats and official vessels. We have a marine service station in the harbor making fueling easily done as well. 

 

Transportation on foot

Here are the main options for reaching Sandhamn on foot:

By ferry

Cinderella Boats (Cinderellabåtarna)
High-speed ferries that operate regularly during the warmer months (spring to autumn). The trip takes approximately 2 hours. The ferry departs from Strömkajen or Nybrokajen in central Stockholm, passing through the stunning archipelago on the way to Sandhamn. Tickets can be booked in advance, and schedules vary by season.

Waxholmsbolaget
Waxholmsbolaget also operates ferries to Sandhamn from Stockholm. These ferries are slightly slower than the Cinderella boats, with the trip taking around 2.5–3 hours depending on the route. The ferry departs from Strömkajen, located next to the Grand Hôtel in central Stockholm.

By boat taxi
If you prefer a quicker, more flexible trip, you can also take a boat taxi from one of the closer islands in the archipelago, such as Stavsnäs (which can be reached by car or bus from Stockholm). The boat taxi service allows you to set your schedule and travel time directly to Sandhamn.

By bus and boat (Stavsnäs Route)
You can also combine a bus and boat trip if you prefer a shorter boat ride. Take a bus (SL bus) from Slussen in Stockholm to Stavsnäs Vinterhamn. The bus ride takes around 50–55 minutes. From Stavsnäs, take a Waxholmsbolaget ferry to Sandhamn. The ferry ride from Stavsnäs takes around 30–45 minutes, depending on the route.

By private boat
Some distances in nautical miles from Sandhamn to a few key locations in the Stockholm archipelago:
Sandhamn to Saltsjöbaden: approx. 24–25 NM
Sandhamn to Bullandö: approx. 14–15 NM
Sandhamn to Central Stockholm: 27–29 NM
Sandhamn to Stavsnäs: 7–8 NM

 

Containers 

For transportation of containers to Stockholm the easiest way is to send them through either the Container Terminal Frihamnen in Stockholm as the closest one to the event or the brand-new Stockholm Norvik Port in Nynäshamn.  

There will be no space available for containers in Sandhamn. If you want to send a private container one possibility will probably be to Bullandö Marina be at your teams expense.
