SYNOPSIS
Join ISBJØRN in Bergen, Norway for an intensive week of sail training! We will sail the fjords, archipelagos and the open ocean around Bergen, with a different theme and focus for each day including sail trim, helmsmanship, heavy-weather sailing, piloting & navigation, instruments, downwind sailing, and more, depending on what opportunities the weather prepares for us. We'll end most days at a new and gorgeous port or anchorage, but also come prepared for some overnight sailing!
Typical Weather Pattern
As May bridges the gap between spring and summer, anticipate a temperature range of around 41-59ºF (5-20ºC). Wind conditions can vary in Norway’s coastal areas with a mix of sheltered and more open water sailing. Wind can change quickly, particularly in fjords. Expect a mix of weather, including rain and sunshine.
