You can expect mostly coastal day sailing on this voyage but there is a sixty mile offshore passage across the Skaggerak as we leave Oslo fjord. This means you need offshore insurance which covers you for beyond than 12 miles from the coast. Weather wise expect something similar to a UK summer but a bit warmer and more settled.

Leaving Oslo
Heading south from the Oslo Fjord the Swedish coast changes from rocky islands and indentations to the much more pastoral landscape of southwest Sweden as Helsingborg is approached.

Highlights Of The Voyage
We will have the choice of approaching Copenhagen from several different directions and we may call into Goteborg. One possible route could be making the short passage across to the east side of Denmark's Jutland peninsula and calling at places such as the Limfjord which cuts right across Denmark to the North or the Mariager fjors which is known to be stunningly beautiful in a very different way to the Norwegian fjords, with reedy lower reaches and rolling wooded hills as you go 20 miles further inland .

Further south there are many historical towns, picturesque bays and quite anchorages both on the mainland and amongst the main Danish islands of Fyn and Sjaelland not to mention the myriad smaller island.

Copenhagen
Our voyage destination with it's canals, beautiful buildings, gardens, museums and the friendly and open Danish people is a place we are very much looking forward to visiting.

Everyone can get a discount on their sailing holiday.

In an effort to keep prices as low for you as we can we give you a discount if you pay us by bank transfer (or, for your balance payment due when you arrive onboard by bank transfer or cash) this saves us administrative costs which we pass on to you.
You can of course pay us by credit or debit card or cheque but then you need to pay the non discounted price in brackets.

So it's that simple - pay by bank transfer - get a discount!

Getting to your sailing holiday
Options include lots of flights to Oslo. the only thing to beware of here is that there are two airports for Oslo, Gardemon which is quite a way outside Oslo and the central Oslo airport. Don't get the two mixed up.

What time do I join and leave the boat?
For everything other than our 'learn to sail weekends' arrival time is 6pm on the first day of the voyage and we provide an evening meal. Leaving time is 10 am on the last day of the voyage. However we know flight time can be tricky and vary hugely in price. Early morning flights on the day of arrival can usually be accommodated and for leaving it is often possible to catch a late flight on the day before you are due to leave or an early morning flight on the official day of departure.

Travel in Norway is generally efficient, clean, surprisingly cheap at times and the stunning scenery makes it an experience in itself. Language difficulties almost never arise, most Norwegians speak excellent English. Travel in Denmark we don't have any experience with but we expect it will be good.
