The DCA has a growing presence in Scandinavia and  Per Storgaard is the Regional Secretary. There are a great many wonderful dinghy cruising areas in Norway, Denmark and Sweden and it is hoped that meets will be attended by members from all over Europe and the UK as  well as those living in Scandinavia.   If you have any questions, please  email  the   Regional Secretaries, specifying your question concerns Scandinavia.

Mollösund
 ​14 – 16 June          Orust, Sweden
Orust is a large island on the west coast of Sweden just north of Gothenburg. It is part of an  archipelago consisting of large and small islands with fjords and coves to explore.   The area should provide us with a number alternatives in terms of passage planning, depending on the conditions, with both open water and more sheltered options to choose between.    There are few marinas in the area, so we will be “wild camping” or sleeping aboard our boats at anchor.   Meet and  launch at Mollösund where there is a good public slip.

9-11 August        Limfjorden, Denmark
​The Limfjorden is a strait that connects the North Sea in the west with the Baltic Sea in the east and boasts a large number of bays and inlets. It is relatively sheltered and the surrounding landscape is quite low-lying so the wind tends to be steady. The harbour of Sundsøre is intended as our start and end point, using the three days to either explore the islands of Fur and Livø if conditions permit, or or alternatively sail south to Skive Fjord or Lovns Bredning. The area has many cosy harbours with good facilities.​

Sundsøre
We aim to leave Sundsøre early on Friday 9th, so most participants are likely to want to arrive sometime on Thursday the 8th. There is ample free parking at the harbour and for those not wishing to sleep overnight on their boats, there is cheap (primitive) accommodation in an old goods wagon on the disused railway ending at the harbour.   Anyone wishing to start on the 8th and sail with us to Sundsøre from Hjarbæk, returning on the 12th,    is welcome to do so. There is free parking and a primitive shelter at Hjarbæk.
