Dear Fellow Multihuller´s!
Welcome to Öresund!
When you arrive here from the north there is two sides of the sound to explore, the West and the East – the Danish and the Swedish. Two coasts with totally different character – really an exciting reason to explore it.
The Danish side with a touch of the Continent and the Swedish maybe a little bit colder on the surface but there is a lot to discover. On the Danish side there are numerous harbours from Dragør in the south to Helsingør in the North, historically this is the Golden Coast of Denmark where the rich and famous lived, which of course have influenced the variety of experiences in the area. With a lower population the Swedish side has fewer harbours but there are some pearls we will tell you about, and Sweden has adjusted the currency to a very attractive level just for IMM 2009.
If we start from the north, the narrow sound between Helsingør and Helsingborg has always been a busy place. In the past it was a very important income as the Danish Crown collected customs money from every ship that passed and this was two third of the countries income. This founded the base for all the fantastic places we today can visit along the coast – did they do all this for IMM 2009? Probably!
