Trälhavets Båtklubb
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trälhavets Båtklubb, ("TBK"), is one of the biggest local yacht clubs in Sweden. It is situated in Österåker, just outside Stockholm, right in the middle of one of the world's most beautiful archipelagoes.
TBK runs sailing schools for young sailors, arranging dinghy races and has large facilities for more than six hundred yachts.
It is run in a "club" form. That is, members (= yacht owners) do the necessary work such as help doing necessary repair and extension work. The work is organised by a committee and supervised by a harbour master. In wintertime yachts are kept ashore and the work to take boats up and launching them is also carried out by members. Each member takes care of her/his own yacht as far as autumn and spring chores are concerned.
