Blidös stolthet - Segla med Helmi

Sail a traditional vessel in Stockholm's northern archipelago! A unique sailing experience among the inner islands, out among the skerries, far into the rugged outer archipelago, or wherever the winds take you. Book a place on one of our open sailings, or charter Helmi with crew for your own party and choose your own destination — for a pleasure trip, a wedding or a burial at sea. Experience what it feels like to hoist half a tonne of sail by hand and grip the helm as the wind fills the 140-square-metre sailcloth. Run your hand along the velvet-smooth gunwales and breathe in the scent of the tarred deck as you take in the magnificent views of one of the world's most beautiful archipelagos. Spot seals, eiders and sea eagles, and feel the breath of history when the captain calls 'Ready about!'. Visit www.helmi.se for this summer's sailing schedule and how to book. Helmi departs from its harbour in Stämmarsund on Blidö, below Blidö Brygga and Bistro, easily reached by car or bus.

Helmi is a Roslagen yacht of the Sandkil type, owned and managed on a non-profit basis by the association Helmis Vänner based on Blidö. Roslagen yachts are a type of boat typical of the Stockholm archipelago, with roots dating back to the Viking Age. Helmi is today the only remaining authentic Sandkil. The sailing programme includes destinations such as Fredlarna, Norrpada, Svartlöga, Lygna and Rödlöga. Helmi can be chartered for various occasions, for example as a gift, a work kick-off, a family reunion, a burial at sea or wedding transport from the church to the celebration venue. When chartering Helmi for a day, the party can be up to 12 people on a tailor-made trip including crew.
