Co-creation and Teambuilding sails – patterns for sailing crews

Sailing requires targeted cooperation, not least when the boat has seven sails like "AIDA" - Specifically, it is about us at KRNCoaching taking customers out on a sail so that they can practice cooperation in practice and see how much each individual means to achieve a common goal of sailing her. This has a transfer value to all working and collaborative relationships. Archipelago sailing - experience Farsund's wonderful archipelago

Information and history about Aida

Drawn by John Alden 1931 in Boston

58 years later, the drawing became the start of Aida

In 1931 in Boston, the truss for the schooner Cassiopeia was designed by John Alden. With lines taken from larger fishing schooners, she was described by Alden himself as a "go anywhere cruiser" and "should be most livable on long trips at sea".



58 years later, in 1989, the drawings were rediscovered and the keel was laid for Aida. The location was now Brekneholmen on Lista. In the following years she was rigged and fitted out in Norheimsund and Bergen and in the following years she has sailed on the western Norwegian fjords.



From 2020, Aida will have its new home port in Farsund.
