The Royal Swedish Yacht Club (KSSS) proudly presents the Eton Archipelago Race – a new feeder race to the Gotland Runt Offshore Race, taking place on Friday, June 26, 2026. The new name marks a deepened collaboration with KSSS partner Eton, the Swedish brand that since 1928 has been synonymous with quality, style, and innovation.
The Eton Archipelago Race will serve as the perfect warm-up ahead of Gotland Runt, which starts on June 28 from Sandhamn. A total of around 200 boats participate in Gotland Runt, and the feeder race offers both a practical and inspiring way to reach the starting area.
The competition will be held in a pursuit start format, meaning that slower boats start first and faster ones start later – with the goal that all boats finish as closely together as possible. The result is exciting racing and great drama at the finish line.
