Racing Events 2010-2012
Our main focus is to offer a long term racing plan until 2012 and further onwards to assure existing and potential
new 6mR owners and crews, that it is worthwhile to invest in the 6mR class. The events will combine new and
interesting racing formats with a broad communication strategy to attract new people into the 6M-class.
We are frequently updating our website www.6mr.se with the latest information about the activities in Sweden.
You will find there a lot of useful information about the upcoming events.
Stockholm Six Metre Grand Prix
The Stockholm Six Metre Grand Prix June 3-6th, to be held annually, is a city race in the narrow waters downtown
of Stockholm, passing many interesting places, like the Royal Castle, The Royal Opera, Grand Hotel and The Old
Town.
The base of the event will be Skeppsholmen, an old Navy base, since many years turned into a maritime and cultural
center, including the Museum of Modern Arts. The time and venue is well chosen, as it is the busiest week
of the year and Skeppsholmen is the middle of the action.
The Stockholm Marathon with the race course along the water is taking plachttp://www.plutosystems.se/downloadfiler/Sweden%20ISMA%20news.dochttp://www.plutosystems.se/downloadfiler/Sweden%20ISMA%20
news.doce on June 5th, so we would have tens of thousands of spectators watching the 6-Metres racing, as well.
The Swedish National Day June 6th will be another day of celebrations with thousands of Swedish flags hoisted
all over the town with the 6mR class racing on the water.
