GANT
Rowing Race
With roots in New Haven and the american east coast, GANT collected the inspiration from the classic ivy-league schools such as Yale and Harvard. These schools are an inspiration of style, whereas khakis, club blazers, cardigans and school ties is worn with a personal touch. These schools are also known for their school patriotism with their sporting traditions such as rowing. The yearly competition between Harvard and Yale is one of USAs oldest university competitions.

GANT honors this competition by being involved for 50 years in the competition between Sigtuna and Lundsberg.


SIGTUNA
Sweden's largest boarding school. Two schools from the 1920s - Sigtuna Foundation of Humanities and Sigtunaskolan, merged together in 1980 to create Sigtunaskolan Humanities College, SSHL.

A little bit over half of the school's 513 students are boarding students who live at the school during their education. The school's bridge at the edge of the lake is the starting point for Sigtuna Rowing Club's training session.

Lundsberg has been a boarding school since 1896. It is beautifully situated by the lakein Värmland, in between Kristinehamn and Filipstad. The beautiful natural surroundingsmake the school a perfect place for all kinds of sports, and the rowing team is the jewelin Lundberg's crown. Lundberg's motto is the "Mens sana in corpore sano" - A healthymind in a healthy body.
