Dear participants,

I received an email from the Swedish Coast Guard which states the following:

"During the 2025 Midsummer Section, many sailboats crossed seal sanctuaries along the coast on their outward and return journeys. We would like to prevent this in 2026 and therefore ask you to inform your competitors about the areas where violations were observed in 2025, so that no one inadvertently breaks environmental laws. I have attached files with information on some of the affected areas."
