August Sandberg is the owner and skipper of our beloved Swan 48 ISBJØRN, which has sailed over 60,000 miles since the beginning of 59º North. August lives outside Bergen, Norway, where the boat is now based, and recently finished overseeing a second major refit, which we had done at Vindö Marin on the west coast of Sweden on the famed boatbuilding island of Orust. I caught up with August to talk to him about what went into the refit, discuss some of the bigger projects and ask him what he's most excited about for the 2024 season.

ON THE WIND is also presented by Harborburn Cannon Co., brought to you by the founders of 59º North Sailing. Harborburn was born of an idea by a group of sailing friends looking for a way to add some fun onboard our boats. We figured “if you own a boat, you need a cannon!”
