Sailing descriptions
The idea behind this page is to create a bank of readers' own reports and experiences from sailing trips, so that colleagues can draw inspiration from it when planning this year's trip.
If you have experiences from sailing trips that you would like to share with other members, please send your report to the editors. However, the editors reserve the right to edit the reports.
Do you have a trip report that others can benefit from? Then contact the editors: redaktionen@tursejleren.dk
