Faroes Mission

Faroes Mission

The Faroes Mission: This mission was conducted by CMR (Christian Michelsen Institute) in the summer of 2014. The SailBuoy’s objective was to investigate its performance in varying wind and current conditions.

During the mission, CT and O data were also collected. Weather conditions were light to severe, peaking at 80 knots with 7.5 m waves (direct observation). The Sailbuoy survived the conditions and was successfully retrieved by a Norwegian Fishing vessel.
