Located just to the west of Helsinki city in Lauttasaari, the club was founded in 1899 and is one of Finland’s largest and most successful sailing clubs. Renowned for hosting major championships for dinghy and keelboat fleets, the club has a dedicated marina and excellent shoreside facilities including a very nice restaurant and modern well equipped club house. In the Finnish tradition there are even on site saunas to help you ease those post racing aches and pains! Racing will take place on the open waters of the Gulf of Finland where currents are minimal and excellent sea breezes can be expected at this time of year. Whilst accommodation is available near the club, visitors often prefer to stay in Helsinki, which is just a 15-minute drive from the club and offers an outstanding range of facilities and accommodation, as you would expect from a European capital city. Travelling to Helsinki is straightforward with flights to Helsinki international airport and regular ferry services to Tallinn, Stockholm, Mariehamn, Travemunde and St Petersburg. 1818 19 Meet the Host Helsinki Segelklubb (HSK) is one of the biggest yacht clubs in These include European and world championships in almost every Finland.

    The Art of Niklas Amundson 1 The Story 3 Portraits 4–5 Marine Art 6–17 Gallery of Flags 18–23 News 24–34 Buy a Painting 35 Contact us 35 niklasamundson.com2 . The story Niklas Amundson was born in 1967 on the Swedish east coast close to Stockholm. At an early age his family moved to a serene and beautiful island named Marstrand on the west coast of Sweden. There he followed in his father’s footsteps and began to paint nearly as soon as he could keep a brush in his hand. Through the years Niklas’ association with the sea has continued and has taken him from the deck of a 138” sailing yacht S/S Gloria, which was owned and build by Mikael Krafft, to a Marstrand pilot boat and later to the Swedish Coast Guard. In 2011 Niklas took over the famous light house island Pater Noster, four nautical miles west of Marstrand in the West Coast archipelago, where you can visit a gallery and enjoy a stay at the small hotel there. All the time he paints continuously, drawing inspiration from his experiences both from the past and the present. In his own words “I receive a daily dose of inspiration through my work with the Coast Guard and ocean-close living.” Niklas has showed twice at the annual exhibition of The Royal Society of Marine Artists. His first participation was at the RSMA’s 55th annual exhibition held at Mall Galleries in London 1999. He is official Artist for the maiden voyage the Ship Götheborg sailed from Sweden to China and back.
