Interesting facts about Norway

With its long coastline, Norway offers a varied but also challenging sailing area. The length of the coastline is about 3000 km and stretches from the Skagerrak across the North Sea to the Barents Sea. In the west, the coast is cut by the ice ages with many fjords and surrounded by an archipelago. If you measure the coast with all the fjords, you get a coastline length of over 25,000 km.With its long coastline, Norway offers a varied but also challenging sailing area.

Weather in Norway

Stronger winds should be expected. Within the archipelago, however, there are usually very special wind conditions - wind shadows from the offshore mountains are just as possible as jet effects, wind deflections and gusts. However, it is essential to watch out for changes in the weather...

Interesting facts about Norway

Norway's sailing areas are full of challenges, because the navigational demands vary greatly depending on the coastal region. In the archipelago there are hundreds of rocks above and below the water and the passages are sometimes very narrow. Navigating here requires an increased level of attention. It is easy to get lost among the many islands, so it is advisable to keep an eye on your position at all times. Inside the fjords, navigation is much easier. Shoals are rare and the individual rocks in the fairway are extensively buoyed.
