Kustavi Peasant Sailors

Kustavi Peasant Sailors

For a thousand years, the archipelago has lived with a limed seam boat culture: traveling, fishing, knitting, carving, and tarping boats. Limed seam boats are now part of UNESCO’s recognized intangible cultural heritage.  

In Kustavi’s Lootholma, the Archipelago Culture Center Tildan ranta is where our association maintains and brings archipelago culture into the present day.  

The association organizes sailing camps, where participants learn sailing and maritime skills, and organizes sailing trips for all interested.
