Travel with us as we make our way along the Trollatte Canal in Sweden. The Trollhätte Canal is an 82 km Swedish waterway linking the Göta River to Lake Vänern, opened in 1800 and declared a national monument in 2004. Together with the Göta Canal, it forms a 390 km route known as Sweden’s Blue Ribbon, connecting the North Sea to the Baltic, though the two canals are separate systems. Only 10 km of the Trollhätte Canal is man‑made; the rest follows the Göta Älv riverbed, rising to 44.1 m above sea level at Vänern. The canal includes six locks, notably the Trollhättan lock staircase, and passes key bridges and waterways such as Brinkebergskulle, Lilla Edet, and the approaches toward Gothenburg and the Kattegatt. It remains a vital historic and navigational route through western Sweden.
As the wind and waves increased it is a wet ride for the jib trimmer down to leeward on our Mumm 36 racing yacht. As the spray pounds into his face it is all eyes on the leach of the sail, making minor lots of adjustments to allow the skipper to carve through the waves while keeping the speed on. The Mumm 36 loved the breeze and when she was setup correctly with lots of mast bend in the breeze she could power through most conditions without having to put a reef in the main. Continual minor trim adjustments where needed to keep the boat in the groove and make life easy for the skipper need to be in in tune with the changes to sail the boat fast. The team at bottom up boats loved the Mumm and the fun we had while racing her as hard as we could on strangford lough and beyond.
