Venue

The race course C is right in front of the HSS clubhouse, between the HSS (Skifferholmen) and Pihlajasaari. Race course D is close to island Melkki. The Baltic Classic Masters will have traditional archipelago race course.

The HSS Paviljong Restaurant terrace and the rocks nearby offer a perfect place from which to watch the races. The HSS Paviljong restaurant is also worth looking at from inside. It was designed by architect Runar Finnilä and the art works inside the restaurant are from the HSS members Björn Landström and Michael Schilkin.

A ferry shuttle runs to the HSS from the mainland (see map). The HSS welcomes everyone to come to the island to follow the racing, watch beautiful classic boats and to enjoy Skifferholmen. There is a bathing beach on the adjacent (connected) island.
