Weaving through the crowded skerries of Norway and Sweden by boat - Yachting World

After many years of cruising in Scandinavia it never ceases to amaze us how many beautiful places beg to be explored along the island-strewn coastlines. It would take a lifetime to see it all. As always, our fingers eagerly wandered over the charts in winter, looking for a lovely place to sail the following summer. “How about the Oslofjord?” Wietze muses. The more I look at it, the more I like it: lots of options for sheltered sailing between the islands, or coastal sailing just offshore. Slow and leisurely sailing with daily distances of 15-30 miles, exploring as we go along. The city of Oslo lies at the end of a 50-mile deep fjord. Leading up to the Oslofjord, the Norwegian coast to the west of it has many attractive places to sail to. To the east, the Swedish coast is just as enticing for summer cruising. “Let’s do it clockwise,” I suggest. With prevailing south-westerly winds, we should have an easy sail to Mandal in the south of Norway. We plan to follow the Norwegian coast to the east, sail up to Oslo and then head south along the Swedish coast. Wietze agrees and we start plotting our courses. A strong northerly keeps us waiting on the Dutch island Vlieland for well over a week. When we spot a gap, we go for a quick two-day crossing to Thyborøn in Denmark. Another brisk 80-mile sail brings us to picturesque Mandal, up the winding river to the town jetty. Strange triangular structures in the river mouth are reminders of the salmon fishing days of the past. Nowadays, cruise ships anchor outside Mandal, with their guests flocking ashore to see the lovely old wooden houses in the town. The south-westerly breeze stays strong, so we potter through the skerries along the coast. With no waves, just the unfurled yankee and a keen eye on the charts, it makes for a blissful day cruising the ‘Norwegian Rivièra’. There are many small yacht clubs offering berths to visiting yachts, but also plentiful anchorages and ‘nature harbours’. You can tie to a rock and spend the night, or use one of the wooden jetties in the nature parks. One of the most spectacular is near Ny Hellesund. The Olavsundet is an oval-shaped, fully protected anchorage with two narrow entrances, one in the north and one in the south, making this a popular spot on the south coast. The wind has resumed its normal south-westerly direction, so we have an easy sail to our next stop of Kristiansand, a big city with a famous fish market. The old harbour area has been upgraded in a spectacular way, including the Kunstsilo – a museum of modern art in old grain silos, right next to the new opera house. Norwegian highlight “Are you sure?” Wietze asks nervously, looking up to our mast head. I check the charts for the 20th time and nod, although I feel a slight tinge of doubt. We’re about to enter one of …Continue reading »

Going once, going twice... buy your dream boat at auction! - Yachting World

So, it may seem obvious that the sumptuous 41m ketch Surama – built by no less celebrated a yard than Royal Huisman in the Netherlands – is also due to be auctioned by specialist Boathouse Auctions in May. After all, when it comes to genuine sailing boats, there is little more luxurious than a Dutch-built yacht of this calibre, signed by illustrious designers including Ted Hood and Andrew Winch. Well, you’d be wrong. Not about the luxury – that is evident for all to see. But about the auction route. Vanishingly few boats get sold this way, with many waiting years for an ironically illiquid market to finally cough up a committed buyer. Just as Surama set a high bar when she was built in 1997, so she is still shaking things up today by testing herself at auction. Boathouse Auctions favours a simple process, starting on 7 May and running until 12 May, when Surama will belong to the highest bidder. The auction takes place in collaboration with Burgess, central agent for the sale of Surama, and is conducted entirely online for a global audience. Bidders just need to register in advance and pledge a deposit to demonstrate their seriousness. What might surprise you more is the starting price. A million euros is objectively a lot of money, but for a yacht of this size and pedigree, it is an absolute song. In fact, Surama is valued at close to €5m, meaning that a savvy buyer could strike a very advantageous deal indeed. It is not hard to see where that valuation comes from. Built in aluminium by one of the world’s premier sailing shipyards, the structure of the boat and its engineering are beyond reproach. What’s more, her very experienced build owner took exceptional care of her, with a far-reaching 2017 refit to keep her in top shape. Ted Hood’s renowned abilities have resulted in a sweet, fair hull that permits exciting performance under sail and incredible stability and seaworthiness. Surama has put both elements to the test repeatedly as she carried her owner between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, benefitting from the remarkable versatility of her ketch rig. Andrew Winch took on the interior design, describing her as “a young boat for an owner who will always be young at heart”. He took a contemporary approach which looks every bit as relevant today as it did when the boat was first launched. Pale upholstery, headlining and panelling are enlivened with playful splashes of colour in the soft furnishings and offset by deep gloss mahogany cabinetry. A palatial owner’s cabin runs the full beam of the boat aft, cleverly divided from its own private saloon by a glass bulkhead which can be covered by a blind for privacy. This underscores the family character of the boat, but also allows both spaces to make the most of the abundant natural light. Two further guest cabins, each including a Pullman berth, complete the accommodation for up to eight. There is …Continue reading »

The unsettling silence following the Auckland SailGP collision - Matt Sheahan - Yachting World

The shockwaves from Auckland in February are still resonating. Since the dramatic collision in the second event of the current SailGP season, at the time of writing few official answers have yet been given as to what would be done to reduce the risks in future. Meanwhile the crash, which left two crewmembers in hospital with serious injuries, has prompted much discussion, especially among professional sailors. Many remain shaken by just how close the collision between the French DS Automobiles team and the Kiwi Black Foils came to tragedy. Luck played a huge part in avoiding a tragedy and that’s what’s been so unsettling. And it’s not just sailors. I’ve been told there’s growing unease within some technical and support areas, to the point that some are questioning whether they can continue. Choosing between career and principles is not an easy decision to make and so it’s hardly surprising that few, if any, want to speak publicly. I fully accept that it’s easy to be wise after the event, to call for changes and expect things to happen in an instant when the reality is far more complex and where speculation and knee jerk responses are far from helpful. It’s not an easy path to tread, especially when the frenetic pace of a busy and ambitious schedule means that the show has to go on. But what worries me is the radio silence from the organisation following the accident. Aside from some words from SailGP CEO Russell Coutts in the press conference at the Sydney event two weeks later, and a single feature on their website about the initial findings, there has been barely anything else said. As you might expect I asked SailGP several times for an interview but, despite agreeing in principle initially, I was told just before their next GP in Sydney started that no-one was available for comment. Instead, I was re-directed to the press conference. In this rather one-sided affair Coutts acknowledged there’d always be things to learn. He pointed out that the process is more involved than people might imagine, that the details of the crash were being investigated and that there could be future modifications both to the boats and their systems. He also said changes to crew clothing along with physical changes to the boats to offer more protection were all under consideration. “There’s a lot to go through,” he said before adding that actions taken for the Sydney weekend were a big step forward. Yet there was no mention of what those changes actually were. Split fleet racing was also discussed where Coutts said that while this wouldn’t remove all the risk, this format was already the intention for next season where there’d be 14 boats taking part. The cause of the Kiwi F50’s spin out has been discussed in detail. Essentially, SailGP’s findings point to an excess of ride height allowing the boat to skid sideways, developing more lift than could be scrubbed off with a change in angle of …Continue reading »
