Record interest in Gotland Runt
The interest in Gotland Runt 2022 is huge. Today, 295 boats are registered, of which 82 are part of the ORC Double Handed Worlds who are sailing at the same course at the same time. In other words, there are a few places left until the set limit of a total of 300 starting boats.
Last year, interest in Gotland Runt was record breaking. But the uncertain situation in the ongoing pandemic meant that many boats and especially foreign boats could not get to the start and the number of participants was about 180 boats.
This year it is about even greater pressure to get a place for the iconic regatta. In addition, the first ORC Double Handed Worlds will be arranged as part of Gotland Runt, which of course pulls even more boats.
In Gotland Runt Offshore Race, the 214 entered boats come from 13 nations and the distribution between the classes looks like this:
- 138 Full Crew (SRS)
- 43 Full Crew (ORCi)
- 16 Double Handed (SRS)
- 6 Multihull (SRS)
- 8 Classic class (SRS)
In ORC Double Handed Worlds, the 82 registered boats come from 11 nations.
If the number of entries exceeds 300, we will establish a reserve list. Historically, not all registered boats will start and therefore there are quite good chances to participate even though you initially end up on the reserve list.
Warm welcome!
