Your dream, planned by someone who has done it

Whether it is a summer cruise along the coast, an Atlantic crossing or something bigger, the difference between a good voyage and a bad one is often made long before you cast off. Martin helps you prepare properly.

Route and weather

Course

Plan a realistic route based on season, wind and current. Where and when, which legs, and where you can seek shelter if the weather turns.

  • Legs
  • Season

Boat and rig

Vessel

Is the boat ready for what you want to use her for? A review of rig, sails and set-up, with specific advice on what should be in place before departure. The technical work is done by Riggverksted AS.

  • Rig
  • Sails

Equipment and safety

Safety

What do you really need, and what can you leave behind? Priorities for safety gear, rescue equipment, communications and spares, based on experience, not wish lists.

  • Safety
  • Rescue

A mentor along the way

Support

Someone to talk things through with before and during the voyage. A calm voice to call when you are stuck, from someone who has been in far worse weather than you are ever likely to meet.

  • Advice
  • Sounding board
Foredeck and sails on the open sea
Simple and robust

Simple lasts longest

The philosophy is the same one that carried Odin around the world: simple, robust solutions you can repair yourself, rather than complicated systems that fail when you need them most.
