HTPS was founded in 1925 to promote its members’ seamanship skills and the hobby of sailing. The purpose of the society is also to share information about the construction, use and maintenance of boats. Working together and having fun is important in the club’s activities. Activities are organized with the help of the club board and committees.
The club will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2025. The club’s long and colorful history has been compiled into a awesome anniversary book “Vapaisiin tuuliin, Helsingin Työväen Pursiseura 1925–2025” which can now be ordered from the club’s online store. The book is written by Pirkka Leino, known for her many sailing-themed books i co-operation with the club’s own editorial team.
The club’s 100th anniversary party will be held on April 5th and it’s worth marking the date in your calendar now! Dinner tickets for the party will become available into the club’s online store at the beginning of the year. All HTPS members and friends are welcome to attend the event!
