Sailboats on Lake Vänern at Mariestad

MariestadSailing Club

Sailing, community and beautiful Lake Vänern since 1914

Welcome to the club

Mariestads Segelklubb is a non-profit association working to spread sailing in the Mariestad area. We offer a vibrant club environment for the whole family.

Sailing for everyone

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced sailor, there is a place for you with us.

Active community

We organise regattas, courses, social gatherings and youth activities all year round.

By the shores of Vänern

Our harbour and clubhouse are beautifully located by Lake Vänern in Mariestad.

Our history

Mariestads Segelklubb was founded in 1914 and has since been a natural gathering place for everyone who loves sailing on Lake Vänern. Over the years the club has shaped generations of sailors, from young beginners in dinghies to seasoned racers. Today we are an active association with both recreational and competitive activities. We cherish our traditions while warmly welcoming new members and new ideas.
