Cruising
The home port of Troldand is Copenhagen and our normal cruising grounds for week-end sailing is 'The Sound'. Within just 30 nm we are able to reach more than 20 small fishing ports and marinas, and between Elsinore and Dragør it is always possible, no matter weather conditions, to find a safe mooring and to return again by Monday morning. Conditions are made even easier by the total lack of tide in these waters.
During summertime, venturing to more distant destinations, we are tempted by the wonderful archipelagoes (litt.: skaergaard=garden of scerries) of southern Norway, in Swedish Bohuslän, and on the eastern Swedish seaboards. Since 1974 we have been visiting places as different as Åland and the Baltic countries in north east, Stavanger in north west and Cornwall, Guernsey and Normandy to the South, and with the purchase of Troldand, with her unique shallow water capabilities, we hope to extend the possibilities in the large tidal areas of Schleswig-Holstein and behind the Frisian islands in Germany. Cruising our five different sailboats,since 1974, we have sailed more than 30.000 nm. On the map below needles indicate places we have visited and reed 'needles' are active links to pictures and comments on a particular cruising ground (please observe that some pages have further links to associated maps):
