"The Cape Crow Yacht Club was founded in 2012 to run catamaran M32 racing.
The name “Cape Crow Yacht Club” stems from the site where the clubhouse is
situated. Kråkudden (trans. Crow point) lies beside Kråkholmen (trans. Crow
island), one of the smallest islands in the western archipelago. Because the
ambition was to establish an international sailing series, the M32 Series, it
was found advisable to call the club by an English name. Quite simply, a direct
translation of “Kråkholmens Segelklubb” to “Cape Crow Yacht Club”. . . . Today,
the club not only runs the M32 Series in Scandinavia and USA, but also organises
Allsvenskan I Segling (national Swedish sailing championships). In addition,
company events are organised in both M32 and J70. . . . The Cape Crow Yacht Club
has quickly become an important player in the development of new, professional
yachtsmen. And some of the very best Swedish yachtsmen are club members, this
contributing to a high degree of expertise. . . . The clubhouse, with its
seating, sauna and kitchen facilities, is situated 200 metres from the ferry on
Hönö island and occupies a perfect position for sailing. The facility is fully
fitted out for M32 licensing, instruction, regattas and company events. The Cape
Crow Yacht Club collaborates with “Västerhav” on Grötö island for accommodation
and catering."
