East of Sweden: 15 days solo [longplay]
Рет қаралды 2,084
Жыл бұрынThis is the longplay version, over an hour of Swedish canoe sailing goodyness of my 15 day solo trip made in 2022! All videos of this trip stitched together,
The East Coast of Sweden looks perfect for a sailing canoe. It is littered with small and larger islands, and with the prevailing west winds the coast is mostly sheltered. Camping is free, as long as you respect nature, and the privacy of others. From my home in the Netherlands, it's a two day drive by car, and I had three weeks of holidays. So Sweden is within reach. My plan was to sail the stretch of coast with the most islands, going North from Vaestervik. I wanted to go further and further into the wilderness and desolation of this very very large coastline. All I wanted was to be on the water and sail. I was getting back to the basics: Eat, sleep, sail, repeat.

Hi Koos. Great vids. I’m putting together a sailing kayak and was wondering about your choice of rig. I was thinking of a gaff rig but your lug rig looks easy to drop. Any thoughts? Cheers Rob.

Yes, lugsail is the easiest to drop indeed, check out Michael Storer and lugsail, he's got great info on it.

Koos, thanks for posting this! Sweden looks great--so much like my usual cruising grounds in the Canadian Great Lakes. And your trip is very much in the spirit of what I like to do with my own boats. In case you're interested, here's a couple of links to one of my trips to one of my favorite places: Georgian Bay. So much like the Baltic! Thanks again-Tom kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMiApZliz9fdfX0.html and kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLByrdl5vp60dI0.html

Great stuff! If you don’t mind, what’s the diameter of your mast and boom?
@Canoesailor 8 ай бұрын
They are tapered profiles of windsurf mast, doubled up below. Diameter on the bottom is 60 mm. There's a video coming where I describe the whole boat, including mast and boom

@@Canoesailor that’s excellent. Really looking forward to it. I’m currently using aluminum mast and boom off of a much larger day sailor and it’s too heavy. Was looking into purchasing carbon fiber tubing and making my own from scratch. Never thought about using windsurf mast.

@@sailingoksi no it is the same mast, sdm, because I had a long one I kept enough to be able to cut it
