Cast off in Oslo, 50 nm through the Oslofjord, then we've reached the Skagerrak. From here we continue along the coast of the so-called Sørlandet. It promises the sunniest weather in Norway. Along the Skagerrak to Kristiansand, countless towns and holiday resorts line the coast. The better-known ones besides Kristiansand are: Risor, Grimstad and Mandal. The landscape is largely gentle and captivates with smooth-polished skerries, dense forests and white wooden house settlements. But also a multitude of bays and anchorages or jetties at skerries that promise a peaceful night. Passing the Lindesnes lighthouse, we've reached the southernmost point of the Norwegian mainland. Our course now turns more northward. The landscape becomes rougher, the rocky coast steeper. From Flekkefjord and the island of Hidra onwards, the coast becomes more uniform, with hardly any islands offshore. The region around Egernsund, in turn, is known as the breadbasket of Norway. Continuing north, we also pass long sandy beaches on the way to our destination.

Stavanger is Norway's fourth-largest city and is regarded as the centre of the Norwegian gas and oil industry.

The direct distance we must cover on this trip is not so long. We therefore have plenty of time to choose a few interesting destinations and to reach them according to the winds. The actual distance sailed will probably be greater.

What is described here are some examples. The actual course of the trip, the distance sailed and the destinations reached depend on wind, sea state and ultimately also on the crew. It follows the assessment and decision of the skipper.
• Total distance approx. 300 nm.

• Difficulty level 3: sailing experience helpful - passages up to 36 hours.

• Skipper Martin Zeyer has been sailing professionally since 1991 and has well over 250,000 nm in his wake as skipper and sailing instructor.

• On this trip, ATALANTA will accommodate a maximum of 7 guests (in single berths).
