We encourage all members to invite all the owners of S&S yachts they know to come to Svendborg and share the magic of the S&S Association AGM.Good starting point for onward summer cruising around the islands (Sydfynske Øhav) and in the Baltic Sea Maritime educational centre Svendborg is built facing the harbour and Svendborgsund. The harbour front is fused together with the town, where restaurants and cafés stretch all the way down to the quays providing a picturesque view of cargo ships, ferries and yachts. Boat builders and wooden vessel shipyards have been located in Svendborgsund for generations, and today Svendborg is the country's leading modern maritime educational centre.
