Braving it home from Sweden, by Cathy Brown
When Cathy and Richard Brown ordered the new Brave, an Arcona 410, they decided to deliver her themselves from Arcona’s base near Stockholm to their home port on the River Orwell.
The project proved unexpectedly challenging in a number of ways, from the logistics of getting all the necessary gear to the boat, to the early season weather. They got to know the boat during a brief exploration of the Stockholm Archipelago before setting off on the 1000-mile passage home.
They had long wanted to cruise in the Baltic, and despite inevitable trials and tribulations, thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
