# Faroes Mission

The Faroes Mission: This mission was conducted by [CMR](https://www.cmi.no/) (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.
