Wonderful Landsort would be a favourite if it wasn't for the swell around it!

Heja Skeppsholmen!

I två år har det fällts träd och snickrats enligt gammal nordisk hantverkstradition på Skeppsholmens folkhögskola, och under lördagen sjösattes de tjärdoftande klinkbåtarna. – När man ser en träbåt i vattnet så känner man oj, en sån vill man ha. Det finns inget finare, säger Kalle...

Sailing with a non profit purpose

Just a gentle reminder that Vega is getting ready to make her annual 6,000 NM loop delivering educational and medical supplies to islands so remote that when we leave they often do not see another outside face until we return. Those people depend upon Vega as their lifeline to the outside world. If we do not show up, there are no medical supplies for the midwives or health workers. The supplies to deliver are flowing in nicely, but we are struggling to cover the costs of reaching those islands. Meggi and I volunteer ourselves and Vega, but are dependent upon our friends to help us get there. If you can, please consider a donation to this very worthy cause. It’s your chance to help thousands of forgotten people living on those remote islands. Here is a link to our donation page. https://vega1892.com/donations/donation-form/ And remember, the Neptune Regatta is matching all donations dollar for dollar until the end of January. Even if you can't donate please share this post with your friends.

Real life experiences of a newbie on the sailing cargo vessel "Tres Hombres".

On June 15th I boarded Tres Hombres in Copenhagen with no sailing experience beyond being a passenger a handful of times and having never stepped foot on a tall ship. Since my first time sailing, I have dreamed of travelling the world by sea this way but questioned where and how to start the undoubt...
