As you make your way through the Swedish archipelago you encounter dangers like jet skis, ferries and revolving bridges, which can slow you down and maybe even keep you from reaching your destination! USE THE WIND TO YOUR ADVANTAGE By adjusting the angle of your sail to catch the wind, you can increase or, if you’re not careful, decrease the speed of your boat. Find the optimal angle of the sail to gain maximum speed! WATCH OUT FOR BOATS AND OBSTACLES You are not the only seafarer in these waters, watch out for ferries, jet skis and land.
