A trip in time, we go down to the Gålöbanen at Horsfjärden and the Veteran Flotilla's event EDIP (A Day In Paradise) where there is an opportunity to see and sample most of the Navy's pride over the years. We pick up at Solöbrygga (Norrtälje) then we go down to Gålöbanen. We leave for home around 3pm from Gålö. NB, this trip occurs only once a year, usually on the second Saturday in September. Dates are fixed and posted in June.

Rescuer Roslagen
The Swedish Stridsbåts Association was formed in 2012 to preserve Stridsbåt 127 in its original condition. Over the years several boats have been added but also other units and the business has therefore evolved to use the units for what they are actually intended for — transport and rescue missions to increase safety and security in the archipelago.
The association therefore has been running since a couple of years back the Rädningsvärn Roslagen where we have crews around the clock who are prepared to leave berth within 15 minutes of alarm. We cooperate with, among others, the Greater Stockholm Fire Defence, the Swedish Armed Forces, the Police, the Coast Guard, MSB, and the Swedish Maritime Administration. We carry out a variety of rescue missions every year and our motto is to create “Safety in the archipelago — in everyday life and crisis”.
.The association does not receive any government grants for its activities, but everything is funded through membership fees, missions and tours that we run mainly with Stridsboat.
