      Hi Sophia. I looked into this in early 2020, before Covid really kicked in. Norway was offering a 12 months visa for sailors who wanted to over-winter. It was pricey though; around $750USD per person. As Covid progressed we started to see notices that there would be no refund if visas were cancelled due to the emergency. We didn't take it further. Look for their immigration website and see what the situation is now. And the price! Regards, Rick.

    So cool that you captured some Black Grouse courtship behavior on camera! I was doing some research on Koopmans 39s and I ran across the old listing for Free Spirit. I found a listing for another one, this one made out of aluminum. I have zero experience with steel yachts. How do you find maintaining the hull and deck of Free Spirit - do you have to scrape a lot of rust and paint it a lot?

    • @sailing-freespirit
      @sailing-freespirit หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@kbbarton1 For us the advantages of steel far outweigh the disadvantages. The only disadvantage is steel’s ability to rust. Externally on the deck and hull, rust is easily managed with a good paint system. It is often said that steel boats rust from the inside out. Internally, moisture and condensation are the biggest enemy. A well built steel Dutch yacht, like ours, should have insulation foam sprayed internally all over the steel above the waterline. This effectively stops all moisture from reaching the steel and negates the problem of rust. The bilge and beneath the engine require more vigilance but so far, for us, any rust has been entirely superficial and easily dealt with. Our vessel was well built, is relatively new (year 2000) and was well maintained by the previous owner. We spend a ridiculously small amount of time on rust maintenance considering, but we are not over precious….we are practically minded adventure sailors requiring a low maintenance, kick ass boat that doesn’t have us worrying if we touch a rock or are squeezed against a harbour wall in 40kts of wind.

    Look forward to your videos. Wondering if, after leaving the boat for a few months, she would have much growth on the bottom & prop. ? Is it too cold up there? Even in winter here, I'm over the side once a month. Would not fancy doing that in Norway.

    • @sailing-freespirit
      @sailing-freespirit หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@deemacvee1 Many thanks! Not so much the cold as the lack of light. In Tromsø, the sun was pretty much absent throughout the time we were not on board and there had been next to no growth on the hull during this time. Free Spirit has not been out of the water now for over 2 years and we regularly dive to clear her hull - during the summer months the water temperature in Norway is not a problem.
