Well, really crummy weather with big, unpredictable, fast moving, extremely
deep lows; sudden, thick fog in sailing season; & big, mostly uncharted,
submerged rocks would be the first three items I'd be concerned about, based
on our sailing the south island of New Zealand and articles I've read about
cruising the coasts of Greenland, Norway, and Sweden. After that, I'd worry
about deep anchorages, shore ties, gigantic tides and williwaws blasting
down the fjords.
Insulation & condensation would come in down in the 20s somewhere.

.:.Greetings. Recently we have found our attention turning to high
.:.latitudes.
.:.I was just in Trondheim Norway and would love to sail that coast. On the
.:.flight home to Seattle I had a wonderful view of the coast of
.:.Greenland and
.:.Baffin Bay on a sunny October afternoon. Most attractive. And
.:.Ireland and
.:.Scotland are very high on our "must sail" list.
.:.
.:.But most cruising stories emphasize the tropics. Anybody care to share
.:.comment more pertinent to the high latitudes? We are on the beach for
.:.three years and will accomplish a refit over that period, so now
.:.is a good
.:.time to consider this. What have you found to be the most important
.:.considerations? I suspect that heat and condensation are #1 and #2, so
.:.what are #3, 4, 5, 6,....etc?
.:.
.:.Thanks! I look forward to your replies.
