It sometimes happens that we’re asked about our boat name and its origins, we are an English vessel and the spelling often seems a little strange to some. Sänna. It’s patently not English and when registering with confused harbourmasters in foreign harbours we are usually taken to be Swedes or Danes or maybe Norwegians, perhaps of some mysterious viking descent. In fact the origins are unusual and you might be interested to know a little more – the reason why our sailboat Sänna carries such a curious name. I can’t tell you everything though, not the whole story, not the sad bit…
