We are very much looking forward to catching up with Gotland Runt again this year after it was cancelled last summer. However, not everything is business as usual and, for example, an adaptation is to put the start over two days. We who sail in the ORCi class will start on Saturday and we start at 11:00. The ORCi class has a total of 32 boats. See start list here: https://www.ksss.se/globalassets/gotland-runt/gr2021/dokument/saturday_orci_mh_sh.pdf
Unfortunately, there will also be no open boat this year and we must hope to meet you all who usually come by the boat to the next Gotland Runt as we hope that the land activities are also back.
But you will be able to follow us during the race this year in several ways:
- We start Saturday at 11:00 in the ORCi class with the number 29.
- KSSS will live stream the start Saturday from 10:30 a.m. on: https://m.youtube.com/user/ksssfilmer

When we last raced Gotland Runt it was really wet, cold and windy but it still went well and we managed to win our class (the pictures from GR 2019). This year we hope for a little better weather with warmth and medium wind... But you never know what it's going to be like.
We are looking forward to this year's sailing and we will be running with our regular team of 9 people which is fun. As usual, we will have a high goal and to be involved in fighting in the top 3 is what we want.
