Museum of Modern Skate Sailing

At present closed

The Museum of Modern Skate Sailing,

is located in a barn.

The museum contains four stand inside wing skate sails and two traditional skate sail, one of which is quite old and has a bamboo rig, and a antique parallel trapeze sail, named after its shape. It is as far as I know the first skate sailing museum in Sweden.
