Mile builder in Scandinavia from Flensburg out of the Baltic through the Kiel Canal, past the Frisian Islands, and then a 240-mile crossing of the open North Sea and Skagerrak to southern Norway. Night watches, frontal weather, and the quiet satisfaction of slipping into Oslo under your own keel. Great trip for logging the offshore miles and prepare for RYA certifications.

You will be an active member of the crew, and I will provide trainings on board, e.g. sail trim, docking under engine, weather forecasting and weather routing, passage planning, digital and traditional navigation and pilotage, storm tactics, managing emergencies etc. Skipper: MCA Master 200 GT Unlimited, RYA Yachtmaster Ocean commercially endorsed and RYA Yachtmaster Instructor.

Crew roles: It is recommended to have at least 1 week of offshore sailing experience to join the trip. You will become an active member of the crew. You will not be just a passenger or a guest. During the voyage you will assist with helming, sail trimming, cooking and all the normal duties of a crew member whilst having the opportunity to learn about weather, routing, navigation, boat handling and many more according to your interests and experience. Above all, it should be fun and recreational for everyone. In the course of the trip we will maintain a watch system and we will sail during the night. Therefore, there is no fixed lights-off time and your sleeping rhythm will likely be different than at home. Our main language on board is English. If English is not your native language, and you don’t know the English sailing terms, don’t worry. You will learn the necessary vocabulary in no time while on board. There will be up to 6 people on board including the skipper.
