KSSS proudly presents the Eton Archipelago Race, the feeder race to the Gotland Runt Offshore Race, taking place on Friday, 26 June 2026. The regatta is presented by KSSS partner Eton, the Swedish brand who stands for quality, style, and innovation since 1928.
The race is open to all keelboats and offers the perfect opportunity to become part of the unique sailing celebration surrounding Gotland Runt. Both experienced offshore racers and new crews will have the chance to experience the special feeling of sailing into Sandhamn as Gotland Runt Week begins.
The competition will be sailed as a pursuit race, where slower boats start first and are chased by faster boats starting later based on their handicap (SRS rating). This format creates excitement from the very first moment and sets the stage for close and thrilling racing through the Stockholm archipelago. The finish line is in Sandhamn, where a vibrant after sail awaits and the atmosphere ahead of Gotland Runt is already in full swing.
The Eton Archipelago Race is more than a competition – it is the official kickoff to the highlight of the sailing summer.
