Revenues from sailing tours with "Sandkilen Helmi - anno 1886" is an important prerequisite for the preservation of Roslagens only remaining Sand Carrier - a listed heritage ship. Contributions from members, sponsors, donations and revenue from the sale of items in our webstore contributes to some extent, but the majority of the revenue comes from sailing activities.

The costs of operation and maintenance has been kept to a minimum since most of the business is conducted on a voluntary basis. For example, there is no remunerations for skippers or other crew in addition to pure cost reimbursement.

The large element of voluntary work has made it possible to offer sailing tours with Sandkilen Helmi - for most people - to a affordable price!
