About Seglarnästet

Known for sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces W, so wind from the E blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 7°C: 5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing W. Wind from the W blows onshore, wind from the E blows out to sea, and wind from the N or S runs along the shore. It is sheltered to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 4.5 km out (1 in 455). The sea is about 2°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 17°C in August, its warmest (3/2 wetsuit). The town to stay in is Mariehamn. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
