Sailing in the Baltics
Sailing Lempi
Embark on a journey through Nordics and the stunning Finnish archipelago with our sailing family. Dream now, visit us in Finland when you can! ⛵️🇫🇮

Sailing in finland is all about
Being busy bee on spring
The season is short and after false spring, fools spring and couple of returning winters, it is a RACE against time and anti-fouling to get the boat into water by May 1st, "Vappu"
Enduring sunny nights
Even in southern parts of Finland, the Sun doesn't really set during nights in the summer. You can read your book all night long!
Island hopping
In Finland we have this thing called "everyman's right" stating that unless we're in your yard, we're not trespassing. But boy is there yards and summerhouses ("mökki") on the islands. But there are plenty to choose from and also couple of hundred semi-commercial harbours.
Not wanting to give up summer
The actual "winter" doesn't come up until December but as air freezes it is simply cold. Also the never-setting Sun has changed its heart and the daylight lasts just five hours.

Meet Our People
Okay, not all of us are people. But we are a Family. Valtteri and other kids' pics are contextually visible.
We are newborn sailors. Both of us have been boating in our childhood with our own parents and their very different boating culture. We've just set our own sails and started our own adventure!
First we bought a 23 footer to see if we like it and each others whilst doing it. Apparently we did :)
Noora
Likes the idea of being out there but not the heeling. Eager to learn and doesn't mind the weather.
Jarno
Knows how to sail, steer and navigate out in the open. Learning the ropes on harbour manouvers and any maintenance work.
Edda
Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. Not really into hunting or guns or retreaving. Ducks I like.
