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.

A week of shifting breeze and bursts of Mistral pushed the fleet to its limits and North-powered yachts answered, winning 4 of the 5 overall titles. In the @imamaxi Grand Prix World Championship, Giovanni Lombardi Stronati's @team__django stormed to victory. In Maxi 3, Aldo Parisotto's Oscar 3 claimed first place while Ganesha secured third. Maxi 4 belonged to Ricardo de Michele's H2O, with Gerard Logel's Robas rounding out the podium in third. And, in the Supermaxi class, it was Juan Ball's Moat dominating first place, with Marco Vogele's Inoui not far behind in third. From light airs to heavy breeze, the regatta showcased just how far design, teamwork, and #North3Di performance can carry a fleet at the highest level. Congratulations to all North-powered teams!

Ever wonder what a soft shackle is? These loops made of Dyneema are replacing traditional metal shackles across the sailing, towing, and ATV industries. #sailing #sailinggear #sailboat #rope #sailinglife
