Swedes, especially Stockholmites, Love to Sail

There's water all around Stockholm. There the Baltic with it's archipelago of more than 15,000 islands. There's also Lake Malerin which is huge. Many sailors prefer the vintage wood sailboats, while other prefer newer models.

Marinas are a common site in and around Stockholm. Some of the marinas are non-profit, run by communities of volunteers. Volunteers are expected to help in the Spring putting boats into the water and the Fall taking them out. They are sometimes expected to stay up all night long a day or two out of the year as a security guard.
