Enjoy Höga Kusten Seaside Living: Sleep above the sea at a Dock House

This glamorous dock house will be a less ordinary overnight stay during your next discovery of the High Coast World Heritage.

A fantastic location for lodging: close enough to stroll to Skuleberget Mountain and to readily reach the area's natural surroundings near Skuleskogen National Park.

At the "Dock3", situated within the marina in Docksta, you and your partner will enjoy sleeping OVER the sea and love the merging of the indoors with the outdoors.

This dock house was transformed towards the end of the 1970s (originally it was a fishing boathouse that was built above the water), preserving its character of being at one with the sea.

Under the floor, made of pre-impregnated wooden dock boards, you still see the reflection of the water, and the sound of the surf between the wooden walls serves as music as you sleep 1.5 meters above the sea's surface.

Your bed is undoubtedly the focal point of the sizable living area; it looks eastward out the 3-meter dock window onto the fjord. As if on a boat's deck, you will have an exclusive view of the ocean from your bed.

It is a real double bed (160x200), a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture made specifically for the dock, with comfortable bedding, including pillows, duvets, and additional blankets for more warmth if needed.

You will also enjoy living outside on the seafront by immediately accessing the large portion of the pertinent jetty around the dock. You can step out and start swimming in the water only a few steps away from your door.

This cabin provides an exceptional relationship with the water and the landscape view from the pier: here outdoor and indoor become one.

·

Take note before booking: you will have a glamorous experience, but pay close attention—there won't be any heating inside the dock (only the summer months are suitable for renting it). We also have additional blankets in case the weather decides to deceive you.

·

The spacious cabin's interiors ensure your comfort and freedom.

The building's design is straightforward, as are the traditional Nordic boathouses; inside, there is just a minimal amount of furniture—just what is necessary to enjoy your seaside accommodation—and wood is used to build everything from the walls and ceiling to the floor, which is constructed of pier boards.

There is a 33-square-meter area overlooking the water with sleeping and sitting areas where the bed and sofa are situated.

The Skuleberget's #BIG5 uphill challenge boosts trailrunners' souls

View fullsize

Racing alongside someone in a natural environment elevates the beauty of trailrunning. However, when the experience is connected to a mountain like the Skuleberget, a sort of trace left by the paths remains in the runner’s soul.

One of the most suggestive places for hikers in Sweden is the summit of Mount Skuleberget, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Höga Kusten, or the High Coast. This place is a collection of unforgettable experiences and sensations for runners who enjoy being into the wild.

All year round, hundreds passionates get epic trailrunning sessions in its natural reserve.

The #HighCoastRunner group named the five trails and their steep segments that bring to the summit of the mountain “ELK, FOX, BEAR, EAGLE and LYNX”.

They are the “BIG5 uphill paths” of the Skuleberget.

Every run on these uphills will push you out of your comfort zone.

Know all the #BIG5 segments

View fullsize

The mountain stands proudly next to the village of Docksta, facing the fjords and the Skuleskogen National Park.

The peak at 296 m above sea level is paradoxically not the most significant point: at a just lower altitude, at 286 meters, there is the highest coastline in the world, which, due to the melting of the ice after the last glacial period, has risen from the sea level and continues to do so today, about 6/8mm per year.

This is where a challenge arose. It’s for athletes, not between athletes.

The #BIG5 Uphills Challenge is a call to gather a handful of daring runners with the goal of completing all five trails—the respective ascending segments, in particular, leading up to the top of the Skuleberget.

How the #BIG5 uphill paths were born

The #BIG5 segments names (and their challenge!) born in the 2019 summer, when two “brave” trailrunners - Johnny and me - wanted to complete one time all of the five uphills up to the peak of the Skuleberget. For the first time in one single long running session.

The first #BIG5 uphills Challenge (2019/07/09)

Johnny and Tom ran the 1st challenge of the 5 uphill segments in the evening, enjoying the summer light, estimating a course of ~20km and 4 hours long. Then, start and finish had been set from the sea level, at the marina in Docksta.

They have completed every uphill by touching the "Skrubban", the bronze sculpture at the summit. That starts to be a tradition when a trailrunner ends the segments by reaching the top.

View fullsize

View fullsize

Here you see how they ran the sequence of all the #BIG5 paths, in a course of 25km and ~ D+1.414m.

#BIG5pathLYNX uphill -> BEAR downhill -> #BIG5pathELK uphill -> FOX downhill -> #BIG5pathBEAR uphill -> LYNX downhill -> #BIG5pathEAGLE uphill -> ELK downhill -> #BIG5pathFOX uphill -> BEAR downhill

A little history about the #BIG5

Before this trail, we already had considered how difficult is to agree on the names of the segments... people used different names, or not at all, Strava highlights segments with very fancy nicknames, historical paths have lost fame and walkers risk losing them...

The increase in people running on the mountain in recent years was not accompanied by the knowledge of all paths. Many runner didn't even know how to call them, between Swedish definitions and fantasy strava segments.

The mountain fortunately remained largely wild, especially between autumn and spring but the western and northern sides experienced few opportunities to be mentioned and discovered by new runners and hikers. The two editions, in September and February, of the famous race "Höga Kusten Trail," which crosses and ends at the Skuleberget, are carrying competitors only on some of the most popular, the new "Höga Kusten Stigen" and the steep path on the ski slopes.

The “Gula Stigen”, one of the trails historically used to reach the summit from the western side of the mountain, running in the woods to the left of the ski slopes, was entering into oblivion.

It was then that Johnny and me invented the names to make all five ascending trails memorable and we decided to run and highlight them all during a single trailrunning session.

Johnny suggested connecting the five paths to the wild animals that live in these parts and also thought of a name for all the paths: "the BIG5".

That's the simple story of how this adventure began. Then, as soon as it was feasible, we tried to replicate the experience by growing the group, and other runners began to think about it as well. We arranged the second and third iterations of the #BIG5 uphill Challenge in 2022 and 2023.

So, the High Coast Runners did it again. The last two challenges have been held in early “Spring” editions. The runners attacked the steep paths when some of them were still presenting wide, snowy stretches. Definitely a couple of a bit crazy trails, from a weather point of view, with a mountain that gifted its best (sun, wind, snow, mud, icy rocks, and flowing water).

In the three editions to date, there are 10 athletes who have completed the challange: one woman and eight men, from Sweden, Italy, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

The rules of the #BIG5 uphill Challenge

We set it with very few rules: the challenge is open to everyone; you choose the intensity according to your abilities; there are no time limits; but it must be started and completed within the same 24 hours. To be codified, it must require the participation of at least two athletes to complete it. There's no cash fee and no formal registration. But High Coast Runners always start together :)

Roots, mud, rocks and stones, branches and trees, berries, lichens and flowers, leaves and pine needles, ice, snow, water, wind, the sound of your steps and the rhythm of your breathing… face the challenge by running or walking on Elk, Fox, Lynx, Beat, and Eagle uphills (for experience, not speed :)

Every walk or run—fast or slow—up to the summit following one of these trails has a proper meaning and will leave emotions in your memory.

Through the year, anyone can challenge themselves on the mountain climbing segments

All the 5 trails at the Skule have their dedicated #stravasegments and the ranks of the runners that completed them.

Hiking in Skuleskogen National Park during enchanted summer nights

The summer solstice is celebrated in June over a long weekend, and is known as "Mittsommar" in Sweden. It honors the longest day of the year.

But since the High Coast is above 60° North latitude, both June and July celebrate endless summer days that have 24 hours of daylight to enjoy!

Spending time outside right now is ideal to explore the Höga Kusten Unesco World Heritage.

During one of these bright "nights" and when the sun just dips a few degrees below the horizon, can you image yourself traversing the Slåttdalsskrevan cracks and hiking the Skuleskogen trails?

This is specifically the subject matter I wish to cover on the summers excursion in Skuleskogen, (and there could be no better base in Docksta where to leave for an unforgettable outdoor experience at the national park ;)

Step by step, along the nicest paths in the Skuleskogen in summertime.
This trek rocks.

MAP: hike the best trails at the Skuleskogen national park

🧭

~11.4KM, D+321m, ~4/6Hrs

(medium difficulty)

• 🔵 Leave your car at the Southern Entrance of the park (Entré Syd);

• 🟡 start heading to “Näskebodarna” on the beautiful path between the forest and the sea that follows the coastline;

• 🟠 then, hike up along the trail (blue markings) to reach the "Tärnättvattnen" lakes and packed dinner there;

• ⚫ next, in the midnight summer light and with a certain "Lord of the Rings" suggestion, traverse the 7 meters wide, 30 meters deep “Slåttdals” crevice (“Slåttdalsskrevan”) from north to south.

• 🔴 from there, up on the short segment that climbs on the "Slottdalsberget" hill summit for coffee and chat with an overview of the whole archipelago;

• 🟣 downhill from the summit, and slow walk back in the forest along the path marked with orange dots (boardwalks on about half of the segment);

• 🔵 ending greeting of the day and the reborn sun with breakfast or a packed snack on the beach at “Kälaviken”, before to return to the parking of the Southern Entrance.

Tips and recommendations for your overnight hike

• Pack lightly because the trail is tough. Only bring what is necessary to ensure that your hike is safe and pleasant enough in your backpack.

• There are no shops or bars nearby! Carry your own food and water, including coffee or te. Stay hydrated and consider that you'll burn a lot of calories.

• Even in the summer, the weather might quickly change. Be sure you are dressed appropriately. The paths are rough and some sections are challenging, with many rocks and roots: a pair of shoes with a good grip is highly recommended (you will need it a lot, particularly on the downhill or with wet conditions). Even a light pair of gloves to keep your hands safe when resting against the rocks might be helpful.

• To orient yourself, stay on the indicated paths and follow the signs. Don't rely exclusively on your smartphone, which might not have reception or have a low charge, and instead bring a map of the national park with you. The permitted fireplaces and restrooms that are located along the trail are highlighted on the maps.

• Beautiful spots are available to pause for a late dip at Kälaviken's sandy beach and the fresh waters of the lakes. Be mindful that while you could be hot after your hike, water is typically cold.
  

  WHERE YOU FIND TOILETS: Entré Syd, Näskebodarna, Tärnättvattnen, Kälaviken.

There are alternative trails and routes, of course, but I advise taking this trek at Skuleskogen* (during the summer) because it's balanced to give you a memorable experience of the national park's top locations and scenery.

(*) It's a hike that I have tested and wholeheartedly endorse. @Tominthehighcoast :)

Exercising outdoor in Docksta, connecting with the High Coast Nature

If you like the idea to exercise outdoor, the area of the Skuleberget in Docksta delivers many training "playgrounds": you will see how is simple to really re-connect your body with the Nature!

What means to train in an outdoor natural setting

You can walk, run or swim in the Nature of the Höga Kusten - in some cases even cross it by bicycle (many dirt roads pass through woods and natural areas), or do your phisical exercise sessions as well.

Outdoor, you can bring with you a pair of nordic walking poles, a rubber band or your TRX straps, but you will hardly be able to carry into the woods that pair of kettlebells you use at home or your barbell. And you won't really need it.

Here we are talking about using for training the outdoor space and above all what it contains - stones, rocks, trees or logs.

These outdoors opportunities will break your indoor workout routines, putting your exercising easily out of your comfort zones: be prepared to adapt your workouts to the different environments, weather, temperature and terrain but also to definitely live memorable sessions and to have great rewards!

Green exercising in a nutshell

No gym floor (except for the naked earth), no pumping music (except for the song of the birds or the rustle of the leaves with the wind), no artificial lights (except for sunshine or moonlight), no air conditioner (except for a fresh northerly breeze): what seems to be missing is there.

A creek is your motivator, a steep hill is your opponent, the forest sets your circuit training, the soft sand of a beach challenges your body's movements.

These natural settings will let body enters into its own dimension, taking out what's inside and what is really able to do.

Look around and activate your fantasy because it is plenty of natural objects you can utilize:

• grass, or sand on which to exercise or lay down

• stones of different sizes and weight to lift

• rocks to climb

• tree branches to pull yourself up or trunks to carry…

  …use all them and you will transform the ways and the tools you exercise with!

Take good care of the natural environment when you’re training, respecting flora and fauna but the environment as a whole too.

Re-connect with nature: ground your bare feet in the Höga Kusten

The Höga Kusten in Sweden is an amazing destination to re-connect your body (and mind) with the Nature.

It will be beautiful to spend more time outdoor and, if you need a recharging power break, to boost all its benefits with an effective practice that you can easily combine with your walks, hikes or runs.

That practice is named grounding your body: it is simple, anyone can do it almost anywhere, and requires no special skills.

Grounding is highly recommended for everyone and particularly to whom spends a lot of the life in artificial environments.

(Sailors are included since spending most of their holiday time on a floating boat and very little time walking on dry land :)

Why grounding

When you walk barefoot on the Earth, you start an effective antioxidant process with health benefits: through your feet resting on the ground, you absorb free negative electrons from the Earth. You are “grounding” (or earthing) your body.

Research supports re-grounding practices as an essential element for boosting our overall health and well-being, improving sleep, and decrease stress.

If you spend much time indoors, the more you can walk barefoot on the ground in Nature, the better.

How grounding

The sand - or the stones of a beach close to the water, the grass covered with dew, the hard surface of a rock, even soil or mud are ideal to walk barefoot.

Asphalt, wood, plastic (as the rubber or plastic soles of your shoes) are not suitable since they will not allow the electrons to pass through.

Take off your hiking shoes and socks: let the skin of your feet come into contact with a natural surface of the ground

Practice it by standing barefoot, walking few steps or laying: anything that allows your body to connect directly with on a natural ground.

Grounding technique in a nutshell: kick off your shoes, put your feet down and put pressure on the ground, take few steps.

Pay attention to the sensations that the feet transmit to the body: how it feels to put your foot on the ground and then lift it again.

How does your body feel with each movement and when your feet touch the ground?

Stop and stand up, maintaining a conscious contact with the ground.

How does the surface feel against your feet?

Give your feet a variety of sensory inputs, even walking on different natural surfaces or moving on surfaces that have different temperatures.

Be mindful with your breathing, keep it slow and silent, shut your mouth and breathe through the nostrils only, prolong a bit your exhales. Calm your mind and relax your body. You’re there and now.

What means grounding in the High Coast

Enjoy every step re-grounding yourself into the amazing Höga Kusten outdoors

Get rid of your shoes and walk barefoot, or even just put your feet on the bare earth where it uplift the most.

Take your time for your own grounding session when you go hiking one of your favorite trails at the Skuleberget mountain, or have a stop to enjoy it while you're running in a cozy forest along the Höga Kusten Leden, or simply laying on that sunny beach close to the southern entrance of the Skuleskogen national park. You can find a place for grounding almost everywhere.

4. Again at the Skuleberget, taking a pause at the shelter facing to south that you find along the Kalottastigen path on the summit (it’s marked with red dots).

5. Hike along the segment of the Höga Kusten Leden two kilometers south of the old church in Docksta, and enjoy a mindful session with a fantastic view over the Dockstafjärden at the Per Olsbo's shelter (get the map here).

6. Bury your feet a little beneath the sand’s surface of the beaches you find at the Kälaviken bay (Skuleskogen) or at the Storsand beach (Nörrfallsviken)

7. Simply find a tree and hug it or snuggle up in its roots.

Trailrunning in the High Coast: the #BIG5 paths of the Skuleberget Mount

The summit of the Skuleberget mountain in Docksta is one of the top destinations for people visiting in Sweden the High Coast UNESCO world heritage.

In every season of the year, a trip at the Skuleberget is a phenomenal opportunity for people and families aiming to have fun spending an exciting day in the Nature.

People running within this natural reserve collect unique sensations and long-lasting memories of epic trailrunning sessions.

The Skuleberget stands proud on its surrounding area and has bagged itself a mountain status even topping out at “only” 296 m above sea level.

It has the character of a real mountain and encompasses its characteristics:

• at 286m a.s.l. on its summit, the world’s highest point of land to have been uplifted by a postglacial isostatic rebound

• natural reserve

• breathtaking views over the fjords and the islands of the archipelago, and over the surrounding mountains and forests

• paths in the woods, walkable safely, and segments on large rocks of red Nordingrå granite

• wide natural areas still wild and parts that became an astonishing playground for hikers, runners, climbers, and skiers

• hosting ski slopes - with an unique seaview! - and a brand new chairlift on the sunny side of the mountain and, at its steep eastern slope, the climbing routes of the "Via Ferrata"

• at its summit, few well positioned shelters and the Toppstugan

• at its feet, the museum Höga Kusten Naturum and the Tourist Center, the Via Ferrata, campsites and accommodation areas, and opportunities for organized outdoor activities (climbing, kayaking, cycling, classes of fitness outdoor).

Trailrunning passionates found at Skuleberget an unique playground because there are at least five different path to follow to run up and down on the mountain.

View fullsize

The #HighCoastRunner group named these five steep segments: “ELK, FOX, BEAR, EAGLE and LYNX”.

They are the “BIG5 uphill paths” of the Skuleberget.

Every walk or run - fast or slow - up to the summit following one of these trails have a proper meaning and will leave emotions in your memory.

Every run on these uphills will push you out of your comfort zone.

The FOX path at the Skuleberget

View fullsize

This is the youngest path: it was born in 2017 and it is known as the “Höga Kusten Stigen”.

Facing to southwest, the segment starts strong from the first hundreds of meters in the wood, where it engages you on steeps stairs, roots and stones.

When you're just out of the woods, your track will be an imaginary line drawn on the large rocks that brings you up-up-up to the first peak at the Litoberget.

The EAGLE path at the Skuleberget

This is the shortest and steepest segment to reach the summit following an almost vertical route on the east face of the mountain.

Starting from the museum, the path takes you directly to the top in just 800 meters, climbing big stones and steep steps of stairs fixed into the rocks.

On this segment, vertical runners and climbers are in their playground, but everyone will really enjoy this mission out of the comfort zone. Remember to have charged your camera: there are breathtaking views from up there that you can’t miss.

The ELK path at the Skuleberget

You'll love to run or walk this segment because the “old yellow" is probably the most preserved path.

It is one of the historic trails leading to the top of the mountain but now very few hikers know it and is rare to meet people up there even during the summer.

It's marked with yellow dots, on trees & stones and few remaining wooden poles.

The late afternoon and the evening in the summer is the best moment of the day to be there: the light that filters through the trees from west is magical. It's a wonderful segment if you like trailrunning in the real nordic nature.

Downhill it is very technical: a mix of steep segments and challenging trails into the wood. Rocks and roots to "manage" and continue changes of direction. It's 100% pure fun.

During raining days, a lot of water flows downstream on the trail. It happens also to have to jump over a tree, even large ones, that obstructed the path blown down by the wind. It's impossible to lose the flow during this sort of mindful running…

The BEAR path at the Skuleberget

The final meters of this segment reaching the summit at the Toppstugan are definitely challenging

Here you are on the ski slopes at the westerly side of the mountain.

The BEAR segment follows the steep terrain road that runs up to the summit from the start of the chairlift (Skulebergets Linbana). It is steep: it starts steep, continues steep, and finishes eve steeper at the summit by reaching the Toppstugan.

The LYNX path at the Skuleberget

If you are in Docksta, don't miss to run this segment, following the northerly path that starts from the east side of the mountain.

If you pass the High Coast tourist center and the museum "Naturum" following the Höga Kusten Leden to North, you find where the LYNX starts: it's a challenging, very steep segment that is shaped on rocks and roots and climbs up in the woods.

It is marked with blue dots of paint on trees and stones. To dominate it, you have to run, walk and also climb, keeping on changing the pace.

View fullsize

If it's raining hard, you find a lot of mud and water on the trail. In winter, if the snow is deep, it can be really challenging to find the track (check if someone that really knows it have been there marking with his steps the route in the snow before to venture alone up there).

High Coast runners like this two kilometers uphill trail because there is a sort of tension that brings you up despite the rocks, roots and stones. Nevertheless, in summer it is unusual to find many people there: the trail is very technical and to keep effective your proceeding uphill you need to adapt fast your running to approach the different ground surfaces until the last meters of the segment at the peak.

Trailrunning the #BIG5

High Coast Runner’s tips to get the most of the Skuleberget Mount

Roots, mud, rocks and stones, branches and trees, berries, lichens and flowers, leaves and pine needles, ice, snow, water, wind, the sound of your steps and the rhythm of your breathing.

Take your time to walk or run at the Skule: every path is different, with nuances that you can grasp by opening your real senses. Enjoy the outdoors.

• DRINKING WATER: you don’t need to carry large supplies to hydrate yourself because at the summit you can stock up on drinking water at the sink which is available to the hikers you find at the back of the Toppstugan cabin.

• TOILETS: at the Visitor Center and in the large parking area at the feet of the mountain close to the E4 road. At the summit, close to the Toppstugan and the chairlift's station.

SHOES: the paths are rough: wear a pair with the necessary grip (you will need it a lot, particularly on the downhill or with wet and icy conditions). You will run on ever-changing surfaces, over rocks and stones, encountering roots almost everywhere but also dirt and mud. On the snow, specific outsoles with deep lugs or metallic studs and a good pair of gaiters are reccommended.

HANG YOUR #HÖGAKUSTEN PASSION ON A WALL:

3 days in Docksta: discovering its classic day tours (without a car or a boat)

If you are lucky to spend your holiday in the High Coast, the Skuleskogen national park, the Ulvön island, and the Skuleberget mountain have to keep a priority place into your summer’s bucket list.

In Docksta, you find the perfect “base camp” to start visit them.

---

In Docksta, we suggest these accommodations by the sea:

You can even leave your personal means of transport at rest - your own car or boat is not essential to discover the surroundings of Docksta.

Here you have some transportation alternatives:

• by free bus service, you can reach the nearest entrances of the park;

• by ferry from Docksta, you can reach the typical fishing village of Ulvön;

• by walking you can conquer the summit of the Skuleberget just following its beautiful paths or taking the chairlift (if you are not confident with hiking uphill).

DAY 1#

Hiking the Skuleskogen best trails

The National Park is the target of a full day spent hiking and enjoying the beauty of the Höga Kusten world heritage outdoors.

The bus starts from Kustlådan campsite 2km south of the village and stops at Docksta Marina on the E4 (just 50 meters from our piers), then it picks up people at the campsites on the southwest side of the Skuleberget and at the museum & Tourist High Coast Center on the east side, and has a last stop to the campsite at Veåsand before to leave you at the southern entrance of the park. From there, you enter some of the best trails and the most popular spots.

This bus service operates during the summer: here you find more info about how to easily reach the park from Docksta with the summer bus >

One spot recommended:

Start visiting the beaches at the Kälaviken bay and walk the suggestive path in the forest alongside the coastline and step on its beautiful spots seaside. In the morning particularly, it’s an amazing walk with the rays of the low sun entering in the wood from the sea.

DAY 2#

Cruising to the charming Ulvön

It is the ideal trip to discover the beauty of the archipelago and the magic of a renowned fishing village: for its traditional houses and docks and for the delicacy of its fermented fish, the surströmming.

During the summer, the ferry M/S Kusttrafik starts from the harbor in Docksta every morning at 10am. The cruise along the Docksta and Ullångersfjärden covers the nautical miles to Ulvön in one hour while people enjoy the view of the natural coastline from the deck.

View fullsize

One spot recommended:

Don't miss the short walk to the step up at the Lotsberget hill to the high viewpoint over the village and the harbor or an incursion on the coastline close to the bay of Flågstängsberget that faces toward the open sea to east.

DAY 3#

Up-up-up to the Skuleberget

Walking its trails or taking the chairlift to reach the summit, from the top of the mountain the views over the surroundings are always astonishing.

If you're based in Docksta, the slopes of the mountain are one step away from your front door (and from the piers of the Marina, too). But you can also have an enjoyable ride, lock your bike and start hiking, taking the chairlift, or visiting the museum about the High Coast World Heritage, or… climbing up a route of the Via Ferrata!

ONE SPOT RECOMMENDED:

The Naturum Höga Kusten Museum lies at the foot of the Skuleberget mountain about 3 km walking or biking north of the village: if you want to know more about the highest uplift of the land in the world, and geology & landscapes of the High Coast, start there!

Staying in Docksta even few days during your holiday, you will notice that there is no shortage of things to discover and do around here outdoor.

If using your car isn't in your plan or you decided to safely dock your boat, start from here to discover the coastline and inland beauty of the High Coast, where the heart of the world heritage beats even stronger.

Play to sail: starting strategy basics for your rcsailboat regatta

Your rc yacht is already sailing the racing area and the next race is about to start.

The race will begin with a series of warning signals, followed by a starting signal.

Usually, the starting line is drawn between two buoys, and so is also for rc sailing.

The starting area is delimited by an imaginary line between these two floating marks, that separates the pre-start side from the course side, on the first beat. The yachts will cross this line from the pre-start area, sailing in the direction of the first mark of the course, all together at the starting signal.

Here are few basic steps to set your effective starting strategy routine. Having a plan is key.

Be prepared and think ahead first

 
Can you answer these 3 questions?

1#
”What's the favored tack on the first leg?”

2#
”Where is the upwind end of the starting line?”

Related important question:

“Is it useful to start there to reach the favored tack?”

3#
What's your plan to be into the preferred position on the line at the start?

The right start position facilitates to reach the favorite side of the windward leg first.

The place you're taking along the starting line should be consistent with where you're planning to sail on the first beat.

Balance carefully the weight of taking risks in order to be the first boat at the start: keep in mind that a successful position at the first (windward) mark is more related to a right positioning that the yacht achieve on the first leg than any position or advantage achieved at the moment of the start.

So, plan to position your boat in order to be successfully able to enter into a wind-shift from the right position vs. your competitors, or to sail in the side of the course where the waves are more favorable or simply where the wind seems blowing more.

Search for the best wind to determine the favored side of the racing course.

Do practice to analyze and measure the line and the starting area: how far is your boat from the line? Do you notice trends in the sailing of the boats you see around you? Do you see gaps and hot spots?

Sail on the racing area - and on the starting zone particularly, in time to collect the information you need to define your plan.

How to detect the upwind end of the starting line?

•
Luff head-to-wind on the middle of the line - checking if the wind blows perpendicularly to the line (even shorter starting lines are rarely square to the wind) - the bow of your boat will point closer to the end of the line that is more upwind.

•
Compare sail trim while sailing along the starting line on both tacks: start from the right mark toward the other one on the left, on the way, trim the sails accordingly for the wind direction. When you reach the second mark on the line, don't touch the sails trimming, jibe and turn around the mark returning toward the right mark sailing again on the starting line.

Now check your sails: 

if the sails are luffing = the right mark is upwind (starboard end is favorited)

if the sails are over trimmed = the left mark is upwind (port end is favorited)

•
If you don't reach to determine the upwind end of the line merely by identifying the direction of the wind, look around the sailing angles of the other boats: look to see at which end the boats seem to come off the line better.

If the wind isn't perpendicular to the start line, there will be boats sailing close hauled more perpendicular too: if they sail on port tack, is favorited the left end; if they are on starboard tack, is the right mark that is more upwind.

By the way, the start line could also be well positioned (or be extremely short) so no ends are really advantageous.

Keep the right attitude at the start

For your ultimate start is key:

•
MAINTAINING THE RIGHT OF WAY vs. your closest opponents

•
POSITIONING YOUR BOAT to be able to change speed in approaching the line; avoid having yachts closest to leeward (better if you are the leeward boat of your opponent); avoid crowds

In order to position your boat to sail in clear air, the image above shows how the respective blanket and back wind shadows affect the yachts while they are sailing upwind

•
ACHIEVING WIND CLEAR (by luffing of boat windward, or separating and rising from leeward boats)

•
AVOID COLLISIONS

You need a confident knowledge of the rules (make sure to be aware of the basic racing rules for rc sailing), and to have a clear overview of close situations before they become potentially problems or incidents.

Keep in mind these priorities after the gun shot

• SPEED, SPEED, SPEED!

• CLEAR AIR = free of the back wind of yachts to leeward, free of the blanket of yachts to windward

• KEEP FREEDOM to sail toward the desired side of the course (i.e. avoid to be pinned on starboard tack unable to follow your pre set plan).

An “ideal start" means to have your boat at the favorite point of the line at the start signal, sailing at full speed in clear air and free from the interferences of other opponents: free of the blanket of yachts to windward and free of the backwind of yachts to leeward.

It is not entirely easy to achieve all this but whatever happens your departure will be a particularly exciting and engaging moment. Enjoy and sail it fast!
