SUMMARY
About 20 minutes north of Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital, lies Skovshoved Harbor, the site of the Danish Open. Skovshoved Harbor is also home of the Royal Match Race Center. Founded in 1990 to help develop a generation of match-racers, the center has a fleet of DS 37s that are available for use year round. In its time the center has trained more than 230 sailors, some of which have made their way to America’s Cup syndicates as helmsmen and trimmers.
