Welcome to Attainable Adventure Cruising, the website for offshore cruising sailors who want to get off the beaten path.
Attainable Adventure Cruising is not about feats of derring-do; rather, this site is about gear and techniques that have let us, who are not particularly intrepid, cruise some of the world's more remote and challenging places without exceeding our capabilities.

For us, Attainable Adventure Cruising has often meant expedition voyages to the Arctic, but it has also meant a snug harbour in Down East Maine or a remote cove on the coast of Norway. It is our hope that whatever an attainable adventure cruise is to you, the information here will help you attain it.
We publish this site to share some of what we have learned in 100,000 miles of offshore sailing and 17 years of sailing in the high latitudes of the North Atlantic and the adjoining Arctic waters.
In addition to technical information on sailboats and sailing, our site is crammed with information on our favorite sailing grounds of Newfoundland & Labrador, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Svalbard (Spitsbergen), and the islands in between.
