#1 ISBJØRN | SWEDEN-NORWAY DELIVERY


Passage Stats

SYNOPSIS

This will be a delivery/shakedown-style cruise in unpredictable winter weather in the north, the real-thing. Therefore, stops on the route, timing of departures, etc will be more uncertain than our standard passages, and we’ll be testing out ISBJORN’s new systems after the refit. This is an excellent opportunity to really learn hands-on how to get a newly refit boat from point A to point B.

Travel to the famous Vindö Marin boatyard on the stunning West Coast of Sweden and step aboard a shiny, freshly refit ISBJØRN! After making our way through the beautiful Swedish archipelago, we’ll head into the Skagerrak Strait and set sail for ISBJØRN’s and August’s home port of Bergen—the most beautiful city in the world.

typical Weather Pattern

This passage will be cold, dark & GNARLY! You can expect a typical weather pattern comprised of a mix of coastal and open sea conditions. The region experiences a maritime climate, with mild summers and relatively mild winters. However, it's important to note that the weather can change quickly, with the potential for strong winds and rain showers, particularly in the autumn months. Sailing this route requires careful attention to weather forecasts and an understanding of the local weather patterns.
