To Gain a North Cape in wintertime! Polar expedition by sailboat …

I'm inviting all lovers of unusual expeditions on a winter cruise towards Nordkapp. We will start our adventure in Tromso – in a city called the gates of the Arctic. Sailing through the Norwegian Sea, we will sail into the Barents Sea, sail around Knivskjellodden – the northernmost cape in Europe and reach Nordkapp. The cruise will end in Hammerfest and by plane/ferry we will slowly return to Tromso.

What else awaits you? – all the splendor of the arctic world – there will be snowstorms under sail, trekking, we have a good chance of seeing the northern lights – maybe we will be able to meet a whale ?.

We are sailing The Beneteau Cyclades 50.5. prepared for Arctic conditions (water heating, insulation, many upgrades) !

Plan

Schedule:

Day 1:
Check in. It is not for nothing that Tromso is called the gateway to the Arctic.

Day 2: Sail:10h (50NM), Trekk:2h
Fast sailing divided into stages. In unfavorable weather, we will go out into the field. This time we are not taking skis - but with snowshoes we will go high!

Day 3-4: Sail: 20h (100NM)
If the weather does not prevent us, we will sail 100 NM at once - otherwise we will sail for 2 days with stops between inappropriate weather

Day 5: On land, Skarsvag/ North Cape
We will probably stop in Skarsvag, where it is closest to Nordkapp. Here we have 2 possibilities: - traverse the parallel peninsula - rent a car / scooter and go to Nordkapp ?

Day 6&7: Sail:10-15h, (50-75NM)
Havoysund & Hammerfest In two days we have several options - we can sail from the land side - we can also sail the shortest route. Havoysund is considered a local gem, so it's worth visiting!

Day 8:
Check out By plane or ferry from Hammerfest we go to Tromso - then we'll fly to homes!
