- After a long winter of preparation, we set sail and head for the Norwegian fjords. We experienced a wild passage of just over 270 nautical miles, across the North Sea and discover some amazing cruising ground!
Hope you managed to get round Alesund. An amazing history and architecture (and a lovely wee museum) when we were there some years back,
Well done to you both. I look forward to explore Norway some day soon! SkipRay, Kerry, Ireland.
Thanks SkipRay, we had a wicked sail over. Norway is an adventure paradise, plus the fishing is top notch, you will love it! 🐟
Love this so much! You guys are incredible :)
Thanks Jocelyn, our crocheted Maalie mascots keeping the stoke going! 🤩
Love you're video, what a great adventure.
You're boat looks beautiful enjoy the rest of your trip
Thanks David! Aye she looks after us, we are very proud :) Thanks for the comment 👍🏼⛵️
Good sailing for sure 👍👍😊
The North Sea allowed us a gentle passage over this time 😁🌊⛵️
Wonderful crossing
The North Sea lived up to it's reputation, a speedy crossing for us! Next video will be another North Sea crossing from Norway, starting to head south. Cheers
Finally in Norway 🥳
Brilliant video, who says Rivals are slow? The scenery looks spectacular and I hear you bumped into a few other Rival owners along the way. Look forward to the next one. Andy UK
Crazy boat speeds for us, it was the average speeds that were most impressive. Satisfying to see the miles clock by. Norway has been amazing, lots of footage to share! Cheers Andy! 🌊⛵️
Yewww!!!
Yeeehoooiii ⛵️
Hi guys.
Im proud owner of R 31.
Could you tell me what windvane you have, how it is performing?
Veey good video.
Keep sailing and
Fair goodwindy luck!
Hey, nice boat!! We built our Hebridean wind vane, you can find details if you google it.
@@sailingmaalie thanks for the info guys.
Fair goodwindy luck
and
Cheers!
Same to you! Feel free to ask any other questions about the Hebridean 👍🏼
Just wondering why you chose Alesund? Obviously closer ports further south.
We were aiming to get further north, so chose Alesund for Schengen check-in. Absolutely magic wee place
I was hoping to do the trip last year, aiming for Tromso. …but bargain boat…not quite the bargain I thought! Hopefully this year.
Bergen is 100m closer, but Ålesund does get you a lot further north. Is it the next port of entry.
Thats always the way! We spent 2yrs on a 1yr refit of Maalie. Once you start uncovering stuff, you can't ignore it 😅 Tromso is a dream destination for us, we'll definitely be back too. Yes I believe you are right, Alesund next check in port after Bergen. Last port to check in is Bodo, just south of Lofoten.
👍

How long did this journey take you?
@georgecollins2412 Just checked the log, this crossing took us 43hrs to sail 250 miles to Norway- then another 20 miles into Ålesund. Cheers!
Hmm. Nice vid except for the terrible sound. It’s worth taking a tip from other YT sailors and use mic baffles or whatever to reduce the wind noise, which unfortunately is bad enough for me not to continue watching. Sorry.
@triggerfish999 That's a fair comment, we're looking into wind protection for sound 👍🏼 I did add captions for the worst bit though, hopefully you could enjoy the rest of the video. Cheers !
