I received the email at the end of this page. It is not entirely accurate (some dates and facts are wrong), a better source is Kryssarklubbens Seglarskola which has the correct information online in Swedish. I'll leave this here, but you should check their page for more detailed information.

During the summers I sail the ketch Atlantica. Tomorrow (sunday 9/7) we sail for Edinburgh, and are taking pert in the Tall Ships Race. By the way, Atlantica won the trophy in 1986.... Anyhow; the address to the largest tall ships sailing organisation in Sweden is as follows: Stiftelsen Svenska Kryssarklubbens Seglarskola Vita Gaveln 38 Nya Varvet 426 71 Vastra Frolunda Sweden The organisation has three ships; Atlantica (appr 28 meters, 125 000 kilos, built in 1981 in Skafen, Denmark after the blueprints of Gratitude, a crew of 32 Gratitude (appr. 25 meters, 90000 kilos, built in 1907 in Lowestoft, UK, crew of 26) Gratia (a yatch, built in the 50-ties, crew of 26)
