Saraban’de Sailing

Out in the open, out of the matrix

Hallo! Leuk dat je een kijkje komt nemen op onze site! Wij zijn Matthijs en Deborah, trotse eigenaren van de Saraban’de. We zijn op reis met deze stoere 46 voet aluminium tweemaster. Op dit moment zeilen we in Noord Noorwegen en hebben we vorig jaar een prachtig avontuur op Spitsbergen beleefd. Ons motto….

….”Plannen worden in het zand geschreven bij laag water en spoelen weg met het volgende tij”.

En zo veranderlijk kan het zijn! Zonder een al te vast omlijnd plan en zeeรซn van tijd genieten we van het leven ‘out in the open, out of the matrix’. Op deze website vind je alle ins en outs over de Sarabanโ€™de, video’s, blogs en waar we zijn. Have fun!

A bit of a technical video this time! ๐Ÿช›โš™๏ธ In 2023 our Northern-Lights generator broke down and we couldn't fix it on board Saraban'de. So we took it out and used the workshop of a good friend in Kjerringรธy, which was amazing that we could use that. ๐Ÿ™ It took us more then a month but luckily we managed to fix it ๐Ÿ˜Š. ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—”๐—•๐—”๐—ก'๐——๐—˜ ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—œ๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š โ–ธ ๐–ถ๐–ค๐–ก๐–ฒ๐–จ๐–ณ๐–ค: https://www.sarabandesailing.com โ–ธ ๐–ฎ๐–ด๐–ฑ ๐–ก๐–ฎ๐– ๐–ณ: https://www.sarabandesailing.com/sarabande โ–ธ ๐–จ๐–ญ๐–ฒ๐–ณ๐– ๐–ฆ๐–ฑ๐– ๐–ฌ: / sarabande_sailing

We made a great hike in the area of Skipshamna in Finnmark, the far northeast of Norway. There was no route so we made our own path and sometimes we found a reindeer track we followed. In total 7,2 km and 6,5 hours on the go! ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—”๐—•๐—”๐—ก'๐——๐—˜ ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—œ๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š โ–ธ ๐–ถ๐–ค๐–ก๐–ฒ๐–จ๐–ณ๐–ค: https://www.sarabandesailing.com โ–ธ ๐–ฎ๐–ด๐–ฑ ๐–ก๐–ฎ๐– ๐–ณ: https://www.sarabandesailing.com/sarabande โ–ธ ๐–จ๐–ญ๐–ฒ๐–ณ๐– ๐–ฆ๐–ฑ๐– ๐–ฌ: https://www.instagram.com/sarabande_sailing

We are excited to share this documentary of our sail voyage to the arctic archipelago of Spitsbergen! In the summer of 2023 we sailed 7 weeks with our aluminum ketch Saraban'de around the island Spitsbergen, also known as Svalbard. We spotted a lot of wildlife such as polar bears, walruses, foxes, reindeer, dolphins, a humpback whale and thousands of birds. Next to that we enjoyed the stunning nature, breathtaking views, amazing colors, majestic glaciers and rough landscapes. Often we really thought we landed on the moon. We are still amazed and very grateful we were able to make this beautiful journey. Enjoy watching :-) Like to see more about our Spitsbergen adventure? We also wrote a 7 series blog about the trip โžœ https://www.sarabandesailing.com/category/spitsbergen2023 ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—”๐—•๐—”๐—ก'๐——๐—˜ ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—œ๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š โ–ธ ๐–ถ๐–ค๐–ก๐–ฒ๐–จ๐–ณ๐–ค: https://www.sarabandesailing.com โ–ธ ๐–ฎ๐–ด๐–ฑ ๐–ก๐–ฎ๐– ๐–ณ: https://www.sarabandesailing.com/sarabande โ–ธ ๐–จ๐–ญ๐–ฒ๐–ณ๐– ๐–ฆ๐–ฑ๐– ๐–ฌ: https://www.instagram.com/sarabande_sailing

Hereโ€™s a little recap video from our last 4 weeks of cleaning cleaning cleaning! Because we had a backdraft in our diesel heater the whole boat was covered in a layer of soot so we had to deep clean EVERYTHING. A huge thanks to all the amazing people from Skutvik who helped and supported us! ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—”๐—•๐—”๐—ก'๐——๐—˜ ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—œ๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š โ–ธ ๐–ถ๐–ค๐–ก๐–ฒ๐–จ๐–ณ๐–ค: sarabandesailing.com โ–ธ ๐–ฎ๐–ญ๐–น๐–ค ๐–ก๐–ฎ๐–ฎ๐–ณ: sarabandesailing.com/sarabande โ–ธ ๐–จ๐–ญ๐–ฒ๐–ณ๐– ๐–ฆ๐–ฑ๐– ๐–ฌ: www.instagram.com/sarabande_sailing โ–ธ ๐–ฅ๐– ๐–ข๐–ค๐–ก๐–ฎ๐–ฎ๐–ช: www.facebook.com/sailingsarabande

What an amazing time we had in Kjerringรธy the last 6 months! Itโ€™s hard to put in a few words but THANKS to all the wonderful people we met, all the great (handmade) gifts we got and all the helping hands that made our time in Kjerringรธy just so special. It truly has been an amazing time. ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—ฅ๐—”๐—•๐—”๐—ก'๐——๐—˜ ๐—ฆ๐—”๐—œ๐—Ÿ๐—œ๐—ก๐—š โ–ธ ๐–ถ๐–ค๐–ก๐–ฒ๐–จ๐–ณ๐–ค: https://sarabandesailing.com โ–ธ ๐–ฎ๐–ญ๐–น๐–ค ๐–ก๐–ฎ๐–ฎ๐–ณ: https://sarabandesailing.com/sarabande โ–ธ ๐–จ๐–ญ๐–ฒ๐–ณ๐– ๐–ฆ๐–ฑ๐– ๐–ฌ: https://www.instagram.com/sarabande_sailing/
