Join us for a 8 day long sailing course above the Arctic Circle. There will snow in the mountains and a high possibility for rough weather. It will be cold, wet and exciting as we thread our way in between the islands in Helgeland or under the jagged peaks of Lofoten. But there is also the chanse for Northern Lights, sunny days and a self caught cod. Both courses start and stop in Bodø, Norway.

Course:
February 28th-March 7th 2026.
