Erling Tambs (May 25, 1888 - January 29, 1967) was a Norwegian writer and sailor.
Erling Tambs married Julie
Erling Tambs was the sixth child of lawyer Victor Emanuel Tambs and his wife Dina Henriette (née Weisert). As a child, he lost his father and a brother: They drowned during a sailing trip. Fifteen-year-old Tambs found work aboard a commercial sailing vessel. After eight years of long-distance voyages, he tried his hand as a secretary, journalist, novelist, and importer in Oslo, but none of these jobs worked out. In 1928 he came up with a plan to sail with his wife Julie (née Jørgensen) on his own ship, the Teddy, a former Norwegian pilot boat. They had to sneak out of the port, because the authorities would not let them sail due to a lack of equipment on the boat. Barely a year after the start, their son Tony was born in the Canary Islands. Six weeks later they started an Atlantic crossing. Via Trinidad and Panama they reached the South Seas. Cocos Island, the Marquesas Islands, and the Society Islands were included in the itinerary. In 1931, their daughter Tui was born in New Zealand. In 1932, after leaving Auckland, Teddy ran into rocks off Little Kawau Island, New Zealand. Tambs cut Tony loose, who was tied to the railing, and jumped onto a headland with his son. Julie was washed overboard and struggled ashore, battered. Tambs also saved Tui. The waves wrecked the ship. When the Cruising Club of America announced an Atlantic regatta in 1935, he wanted to represent his home country. Tambs bought Sandefjord, designed by Colin Archer, and sailed with friends to Newport. In stormy weather, the boat was caught by a huge wave. It capsized. A man drowned. With emergency rigging, they reached their destination. In 1937, Tambs wanted to sail once more in the Pacific Ocean. To fill up the travel coffers, he had to charter the boat to ornithologists, who were exploring the island of Tristan da Cunha. Tambs never set foot on land once, sailing in circles for months or lying in wait for assignments. Sick with scurvy and with the boat in a miserable condition, the Tambs family reached Cape Town, where due to lack of money they had to sell the boat. Erling Tambs died in 1967. [1]
The Sandefjord was a Norwegian Spitzgatter, a former working boat of the Coast Guard. It is a gaffelgetakelte ketch, the Colin Archer has resigned. It was in 1913 Risør built, and had a length oa of 14.36 m, a width of 4.94 m and a draft of 2.44 m, and she wore 82,6 m² sail, motor built Tambs from. On the pitch polling (over-head go) Sandefjord still takes textbooks reference when it comes to the characteristics of the fuselage and tail shapes of sailboats. Among sailors, Colin Archer cracks are not entirely uncontroversial: "Poor Am-wind properties," "too slow", "lack of buoyancy in the stern" arguments to one side, the other praises their "beauty", "the ability without danger in any weather accompanied "and the" good self-control abilities. "Colin Archer Double Ender is a type of yacht, which is already built more than 100 years virtually unchanged, probably unique in this Article The Sandefjord sailed in 1965 for 21 months in the world, and since then the Scandinavian coasts.
Cruising is a maritime activity that involves staying aboard a watercraft for extended periods of time when the vessel is traveling on water at a steady speed. Cruising generally refers to leisurely trips on yachts and luxury cruiseships, with durations varying from day-trips to months-long round-the-world voyages.
Sailing employs the wind—acting on sails, wingsails or kites—to propel a craft on the surface of the water, on ice (iceboat) or on land over a chosen course, which is often part of a larger plan of navigation.
Yacht racing is a sailing sport involving sailing yachts and larger sailboats, as distinguished from dinghy racing, which involves open boats. It is composed of multiple yachts, in direct competition, racing around a course marked by buoys or other fixed navigational devices or racing longer distances across open water from point-to-point. It can involve a series of races with buoy racing or multiple legs when point-to-point racing.
A yawl is a type of boat. The term has several meanings. It can apply to the rig, to the hull type or to the use which the vessel is put.
The Gokstad ship is a 9th-century Viking ship found in a burial mound at Gokstad in Sandar, Sandefjord, Vestfold, Norway. It is displayed at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo, Norway. It is the largest preserved Viking ship in Norway.
Colin Archer was a Norwegian naval architect and shipbuilder known for his seaworthy pilot and rescue boats and the larger sailing and polar ships. His most famous ship is the Fram, used for both Fridtjof Nansen's and Roald Amundsen's polar expeditions.
A Bermuda rig, Bermudian rig, or Marconi rig is a configuration of mast and rigging for a type of sailboat and is the typical configuration for most modern sailboats. This configuration was developed in Bermuda in the 17th century; the term Marconi, a reference to the inventor of the radio, Guglielmo Marconi, became associated with this configuration in the early 20th century, because the wires that stabilize the mast of a Bermuda rig reminded observers of the wires on early radio masts.
Alain Jacques Georges Marie Gerbault was a French sailor, writer and tennis champion, who made a circumnavigation of the world as a single-handed sailor. He eventually settled in the islands of south Pacific Ocean, where he wrote several books about the islanders' way of life. As a tennis player he was ranked the fifth on the French rankings in 1923.
The sport and practice of single-handed sailing or solo sailing is sailing with only one crewmember. The term usually refers to ocean and long-distance sailing and is used in competitive sailing and among cruisers.

Jason was a Norwegian whaling vessel laid down in 1881 by Rødsverven in Sandefjord, Norway, the same shipyard which later built Ernest Shackleton's ship Endurance.

Frank Charles Dye was a sailor who, in two separate voyages, sailed a Wayfarer class dinghy from the United Kingdom to Iceland and Norway. An account of this was written by Dye and his wife, Margaret, published as Ocean Crossing Wayfarer: To Iceland and Norway in a 16ft Open Dinghy.
The Russian polar expedition of 1900–1902 was commissioned by the Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences to study the Arctic Ocean north of New Siberian Islands and search for the legendary Sannikov Land. It was led by the Baltic German geologist and Arctic explorer Baron Eduard von Toll on the ship Zarya. Toll and his three assistants vanished in late 1902 while exploring Bennett Island. One of the key members of the expedition was Alexander Kolchak, then a young researcher and lieutenant of the Russian Navy, and later a provisional ruler of Russia during the civil war period. Kolchak also led the rescue mission to find Toll and his crew.
Scotia was a barque that was built in 1872 as the Norwegian whaler Hekla.
