Cool Stuff for the Dog Days of August

We know, it’s hot! Here are some cool stories and events to take your mind off of these scorching summer days. Start with a sail to Greenland, then follow the path of the Vikings to the Arctic Circle. Picture streaking across the water on some “way cool cats,” or indulge in the design details of the latest Scandinavian-built Hallberg-Rassy. Top it off with a crisp summer salad.

Way Cool Cats

The newest performance-cruising catamarans are light and quick, with efficient daggerboards and powerful, precise sail plans–and a history, culture and presence all their own.
