    • Sailstar returns to Gistholmen 2020!

    After a few years away from Gistholmen Sailstar now returns for two weeks

    Since the start of Sailstar in 2010 we have had sailing courses at the small but beautiful island Gistholmen in the middle of Stockholm archipelago. Some years up to five weeks in a row with multiple courses. Gistholmen has been closed for some years due to maintenance and reconstruction of cottages, water and sewer and the sauna. It is now opened again and Sailstar will be there two weeks with both dinghies and the mid-size keelboats. Sailstar will be there week 32 and 33. See more information about Gistholmen here.
